Obviously the executives did not realize how interconnected the community is.

Why? "If they have nothing to hide, just be open to communication."

The promotional push and playtest, "code name" OneD&D is shot. There is likely no salvaging the relationship with content creators or 3PP.
The smiling reveal videos on DND Beyond are going to have a veil of regret, knowing they failed to convince the biggest names in the industry to follow.
While they may get people to buy and play 6E, OneD&D will be remembered as a failure because it splintered the community in a way we haven't seen in the modern era (15 years?)
They blew it.

That means nothing to One D&D.

Nah. Wizards gets what it gives.
I have content that will now be delisted from platforms. Books I've written that have been cancelled.
For what - Suits that care nothing about us? That's what's causing all this turmoil among my friends in the publishing industry.
Nah, I'm done making excuses for these lunchroom bullies who think we're just a bunch of nerdy losers.
I stuck with them through 4e, but this time I'm done with them.

Maybe wait until the actual Wizards response.

It's not going to come for another 10 days or so. They have time to clear stuff up.

Fantastic, hopefully they crash and burn and we get a number of viable competitors out there.

Yeah the sunshine and rainbows faux interviews with jermey crawford are going to hit a bit different . To be clear, none of this is the fault of the design team and their work is being significantly undercut as usual.

I'm not the target audience for the playtest, but I was already suspicious that a) they were not genuinely interested in listening to feedback and b) that the changes they were making were meant to facilitate vtt-only play.

that seems silly, they have been listening to feedback, and while they are making a VTT, VTT's are not the only way to play.

I don't. I want D&D to do well, and I think to best way for that is to back track.
