Hi Keegan.
If the volunteers who make the encyclopaedia shifted their work, en masse, to servers hosted elsewhere, I would hope the WMF would do the right thing with the money they have accumulated - let's face it shall we - either directly via Wikipedia banners or indirectly via the goodwill the encyclopaedia-makers have generated. If the WMF decides to hold on to all that moolah, shame on them.
But I assume it won't come to that: neither the parting of the ways nor, if that does come to pass, the WMF keeping the money.

Hopefully we could publicly shame them into handing it over.
I believe that public shaming as a tool went out of vogue in most civil societies quite a bit ago.
I think it should be out of vogue on this list as well.
