Aspects of this probably do make sense. However: third party screen reader development is expensive and is continuously being challenged by Microsoft and other software players.
development with respect to Window-Eyes being in decline is in large measure due to the Window-Eyes for Office scheme. Nobody buys Window-Eyes anymore, so VFO has to inject bankers' capital into this alternative to JFW. I do agree that piracy is a problem for both screen readers, and that JFW is too expensive. So - in principle, I like the hybrid idea. Just don't think it can be free.
