There are certainly people who are only using lemmy, not because its FOSS, but because reddit has closed off API access (not realizing those are interconnected issues). To them it wouldn't matter if lemmy's source code is open or not.
Its not too big a concern for me, the fediverse isn't going anywhere, and it'll continue to grow, and be resilient to challenges.
