Now there's possible logic I see, but with the differences between VFP and client/server....well, it's very different. If you can afford SQL Server AND NEED SQL Server (for big dog data), so be it. VFP is great, but when you use SQL Server or MySQL or Oracle or a serious big dog rdbms, you gain so much more scalability (or at least that's what I bought). Fox tables are awesome, but there comes a point where there's a limit.
The catch, of course, is that they make it easy to develop SQL Server apps in VB or C#. So you get a Visual Studio sale, and all its licensing, along with the SQL Server licenses. VFP works just as easily with non-Microsoft databases, so that's a double whammy: loss of both VS and MSS license sales.
