>If Chainlink Labs were to theoretically go bust
Meaning what?
Sergey stated in 2022 that many feeds etc. are self sustaining (users paying more than it costs to operate), the direct payment services like CCIP are inherently self sustaining.
The operational costs are proportional to demand; the more demand the more it costs, the less demand the less it costs. So the only way this goes bust is if somehow that demand were to disappear completely. Which is the case for any blockchain too.

>Any example of Chainlink sponsoring a contract operator like this?
Nearly all price feeds right now were built specifically to the user's specifications, so technically these users are the contract operators.
Chainlink even allows them to build semi-dodgy shit, but then they literally add red flags to the feeds.
Like Elixir which got exploited at the liquidity level a few weeks ago.
