why only Terraform? for some reason I was under impression that other offerings of HashiCorp will be supported by OpenTF foundation

OpenTF core member from Gruntwork here. All great products require focus, and right now our sole focus for OpenTF is creating the best possible truly open source and community-driven successor to legacy Terraform.

I'd personally love to see an open source path forward on other products that Hashicorp re-licensed like Packer, but those will need to be a separate project and initiative.

I doubt that there will be such things. Vault for example. Its unlikely that it gets a big backer or will be a cncf project.

Presumably this: https://www.cncf.io/

Cloud Native Computing Foundation

I think Packer is a reasonable candidate for a CNCF project.

From the name OpenTF (Open Terraform) I assumed it's specific to Terraform

The "TF" part could be anything! :)

Open Technology Foundation is one suggestion.

Backronyms are a thing people.
