real reasons why people DON’T use opensource:
- bugs in apps with no community on irc/discord/matrix/xmpp to ask about (yes, i talk about you @libreoffice )
- assholes in communities if such exist (yes i talk about archlinux and @godot )
- enshittification and slowly going back to not being opensource (yes i talk about @mozilla )
- and if all of the above combined it just creates resistance against opensource
small opensource can do nothing until big opensource does the step…
In proprietary stuff the bugs just don’t get fixed, ever. And you can’t ask
In proprietary stuff there aren’t even communities and if you try to make one nintendo puts you in prison
Okay this is really impossible in proprietary stuff as there it can’t get worse (wait, no, adobe exists)
