I bet Prusa is pretty happy about this decision from Bambu.

Maybe they are happy, but does this help them ? Maybe a little bit in the short term, but Prusa offers are on a different price range. Higher prices where justified in the past by delivering a better quality, better out off the box experience and innovative features compared to competitors until Bambu reshaped the market.

The team at Prusa shouldn't feel happy, they should feel comforted in their strategy of supporting open-source and community efforts. But, above all, they should see an opening to gain back the front stage if they are able to provide a printer at the right price and the right features

Now, given they just launched the CORE One, priced at 1350€ assembled, I doubt they have anything ready to reveal right now to amaze us.
