> Open Source platforms win, Open Source products don't
Except for on laptops where Windows and macOS rule. And on phones, where iOS isn't dead yet. And on gaming computers, where the Steam Deck is very new and nowhere near PS5 or Xbox. And on the server where there's been a mass migration towards proprietary cloud platforms.
Really the only place open source wins is when programmers are the only ones deciding on the product. Which makes sense, because programmers are the only people who benefit from something being open source. For everyone else it's just a question of which set of programmers you pay.
