@azure@pleroma.site Agreed, just-so stories often sound plausible and then some releases a great Free software implementation of $THING.
I do suspect there are some domains where the incentives don't work for FOSS though. Projects needs to be fun to work on (for small hobbyist/side projects) or valuable for corporations to publish (so they hire someone to work on it).
AAA games or tax software probably won't become FOSS. Am I too pessimistic?
