Assuming yes, it would've been outdated, and this give them access to fresh new code for a foreseeable future in the case of Microsoft blocking access from other AI to make it exclusive for Co-Pilot.

They don't have to offer this to get new versions, that's kinda the point of foss software, it's there for anyone to download and use however they like whenever they want.
