Both situations are not mutually exclusive. The middle ground could be something like "we would like to sell a Kubuntu LTS product but upstream/the community doesn't support us -- to the extent that the product would be profitable". Maybe they would need to hire x additional KDE developers, but the number of expected Kubuntu customers would only pay for x-2. I think it is coherent with what they are saying.

Talking about your projections of the expected number of customers in public is not always a smart thing to do.
