You could apply that worry to pretty much anything that's not free/open source.  On the other hand if you think of a laptop running kore as pretty much a hardware synth then it's probably got a good 5 years left in it without any support from NI.  I find it hard to believe that many kore users have exhausted all the options of the system as it stands.
