That doesn't make it non-annoying. I am personally annoyed at the current state of the open source ecosystem where all the top open source projects are dominated by large tech co's. These large companies are developing open source as a strategic asset but most people have no idea and just think they're being altruistic. The reason this really sucks is because as a result, all the large projects backed by large companies kill of the alternatives which have very pure motivation. Just like react is replacing a pure open standards based way of web development. Sure, it's "open source", but this is not right.

It's fascinating how far we have come in the past 20 years. First the introduction of using opensource at work, then businesses starting to opensource things themselves, and here we are complaining that the top opensource projects are in fact backed by companies. I understand your point, but it's also a luxury to be able to complain about this.
