as someone that has had to ‘compete’ against open source offerings, it’s a major pain in the butt

Cry me a river.

In the town where I used to live, I would once a month cut my neighbor's lawn. For free. She was a sweet 90-year old lady and she cried when my wife and I moved away.

By your logic, I should have refused to mow her lawn because it was preventing some lawn service from making a buck.

broken analogy is broken

for your analogy to match, you would have to mow all the lawns for free for anyone that asked.

go ahead and have your lawn mowing company compete against the ‘free lawn mowing movement’. your company would go out of business.
