Calling open source communism aside, capitalism and those who benefit the most from it probably absolutely HATE the largest open source projects because the more people use those, the less likely they are to use their telemetry based spy/bloatware.

Imagine trying to make a paid video/audio file player in today's day and age and going up against the titan that is VLC. Or an audio editor/playback program in similar fashion to Audacity. Two of the biggest open source programs that I imagine just about anyone who has used a computer has probably heard of and/or used at some point.

Well, Reaper is more popular with musicians than Audacity, and it follows the Winrar business model

It's paid unless you know how to compile it.

Easy enough to compile...
