Same concerns

Enterprise service that seems to not provide a public index anymore (only paid photos, just like all photo stock services).

I'm going to add more context as per todays test-triage

Summary: Its seems that oEmbed that become enterprise, shall lose support

Back in the day other similar oEmbeds like Viddler were deleted under similar circumstances https://core.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/28379#comment:6 [28596]

This topic was brought through this conversation with @peterwilsoncc where he was suggesting that another oEmbed like SnagIt wasn't eligible for not providing a public listing. So I wanted to audit the current status of oEmbed and spotted this, which happens to be in the same situation

Open question: would this impact the SmugMug block?

Basically it will disable it.
Think that this is the reverse logic to this:

@SirLouen One of the reasons we (ie, core contributors) are fussy about which services are added is that once the service is listed it's difficult to remove them without breaking people's sites. If the old embeds work, WordPress's back-compat promise is that they will continue to do so.

For Facebook, Instagram and other deprecated endpoints it's easier because the service has broken the embeds.

If all/the vast majority uploads under the old business plan have been deleted then it makes the deprecation easier, do you know if that's the case.

After some research, I've found they still support oEmbeds. The service is 100% premium now. But also after some research, I've found that VideoPress is no less Premium, so I can't think now on why removing this and not remove many others (or why not add many others, like the one discussed in the other report called Screencast)

This generates a weird moral conflict I'm not going to play with. So I think this should be brought by whoever is interested into a dev-chat and move on

Preemptively, I will close this as maybelater
