Not hating on open source, just let people use what fits their expectations and needs and stop deterring them with gatekeeping :P

Proprietary software means leverage against you in the future. Je could sell out to evilcorp any day. However, I agree and of all the proprietary software, a good reputation small team that is upfront about their plan and treat their community of user with respect, is the most tolerable way to use closed source software under capitalism.

Just know enshittification is always on the table with closed source.

That's true that that's the case but when that does happen foss alternatives will still be there. Just like they're here now. I just prefer apps that have a good UX

Yes, the probably of that client, sucking all the air out of the room for alternatives, is very low
