I would not be so sure about that. Fusion 360 has pretty strong adoption rates and I know a number of people who run their businesses using Fusion 360.
CAD software is used in many industries and companies, both large and small, so as development continues I am sure there will be opportunities.
In the end, it doesn't really matter what CAD system you use as long as general concepts are understood, they are all fairly easy to learn.
You are absolutely right that it doesn't matter which Cad system you use, but the cracks in Fusion360 are more and more apparent as you read the posts on this topic. Take as an example how many people suffer from crashes with Fusion360. In the beginning of Fusion360, I think this was much less (hardly) the case. Furthermore, several separate software packages from AutoDesk (or software purchased by AutoCrap) have been merged into Fusion360. A good example is Eagle. Companies that have a permanent license for Eagle have to switch to Fusion360 for a new license, and then you have an option in fusion360 to link step files (anycad) to fusion360 drawings which does not work at all, links are regularly broken (very annoying) . So there are also added functions that do not even work properly. Fusion360 also gets more functions for which you have to buy credits and the license rent sometimes goes up again, but once you have chosen a Cad system as a company, you are less likely to switch to another package. AutoCrap's motto is like a drug dealer: First make people addicted to the possibilities, take over competition, then gradually raise prices (No possibility to buy a permanent license, but hey we have to keep the shareholders happy).

To my knowledge - I've been on this forum almost daily since 2014 - no post or thread has ever been purposely deleted. I recall only two thread that have been locked from further comments and that was completely warranted.
I'm not saying you do this either. But it does happen.
