Interestingly I have the exact opposite experience, especially since the rise of github. High quality floss software is everywhere, and closed proprietary crap is suffering if only because without github they still rely on forums or email for users to report bugs or feature requests.
9 times out of 10, a github project fixes my bug report very quickly.
Half the time I'll send an email to a closed source project and never hear back about it.
FOSS is also doing well in an era where proprietary clients mean crappy electron clients. That's a low bar to beat.
