In addition to this being fairly important from an engineering/business perspective to not mispredict on what *will* happen, I feel like it's reasonably important from a philosophy-of-entrepreneurship perspective on what *should* happen: people have the *right to walk away*.

This is particularly important vis employees. Many, many employees have been told variants of You Owe It To The Work when a company was going down the tubes to keep the lights on. The employees do not owe it to the work. If the company has said e.g. "btw no more paychecks", bye.
