Description

This blog questions why industrial teams still default to Kepware when the technical barriers that made it necessary disappeared, while per-tag pricing and TPG's $600M acquisition added new costs and risks.

Pushes readers to re-evaluate based on changed fundamentals—not inertia—before losing negotiating leverage.

I've softened the tone a bit with some corrections and suggest a slightly less confrontational title like yours... What about something like: “Beyond Kepware: Why Modern Industrial Connectivity Demands a Second Look”

In terms of SEO, you could add a more transactional H2/H3 such as:
“A Modern Alternative to Kepware's Licensing Model”
