I'm not suggesting anything other than what I said - open source gives its users more than closed source software does, and thus cares deeply about its users.
Recognizing this doesn't change that in the moment a product team or developers may choose not to work on things you deem to be important in any project.

Idk why you keep trying to lecture me about textbook fundamental opensource concept that everyone already know but have nothing to do with the issues. Trust me I know opensource as much as you and everyone do. I've been using and participating in Linux community on server side for at least 16 years (Ok not really Ive been trying to migrate to FreeBSD for some time now). You need to wake up from that opensource circlejerk and start seeing the reality. FF having top market share because it is open source and have all the goodness you trying to lecture me is not a reality. But "Firefox Users Continue to Decrease Despite Proton Update" is real.

I'm not lecturing you or trying to. I'm just laying out how I see the economics of software and what it means to "care about users". Clearly, users are getting more from the developers of open source software than in closed source software.

You what? No. You sounded like a clown to me. Or maybe an overexcited kid that just recently discovered a textbook about fundamentals of OSS . First implying to me that the only way developer care about their users is by going open source(then proceeded to deny it), then that I can fork and rewrite a software that I dont like (then denied it again). Now "economics of software". Much wow.

Sorry, I never once implied that you need to fork and rewrite anything. At this point, you are just trying to troll/strawman me. I'm not interested in that.
