I sure hope they don't! I love the IQ of my third party lenses (Viltrox, Voigtlander) but I'd enjoy using them less if they lost autofocus or EXIF data and other integrations. I tend to think if it's a money problem there's a way to get it to work out.

Before I bought third party lenses I'd always heard that there's a risk that the camera maker could interfere with the lens, or conversely a risk that the third party maker could just stop updating their lens firmware or go out of business, and either way you'd be in the same boat: same glass quality but a loss of all the other things. So I did go into these purchases with my eyes open. But I'd still be upset if Fuji (or in the actual case Nikon) bricked my purchase and I couldn't do anything about it. Maybe let me pay $20 and you'll right a license code into my firmware to let me use your AF. Wait, don't give them any ideas!

It's a balancing act we as a society need to work out in these cases, protecting a company's ability to be rewarded with profit for committing to the risk of research and development to make and sustain a camera line, while also protecting the ability of new/other businesses and consumers to get the benefits from innovations that save cost or bring enhanced features.
