That's the American way of doing things. Wild deregulation and dependency on billionaires, because freedom or some excuse.

In Europe, the EU mandated years ago CCS2 for all cars, tesla included, so the whole continent's (UK, CH, etc included) infrastructure is compatible with every car, just like gas stations. Tesla operates like 20% of the infrastructure so if they disappear it will be a minor nuisance, and only for the time other operators gobble up the locations. If power and permits are already in place, it's a question of a few weeks to install the transformers and charging points.
