"Arguing for closed source by default is contrary to that, in my opinion." I didn't, and never have ;) It's mostly the opposite, which is that i usually am the person telling people to open source things by default. Here, there turn out to be IMHO good reasons not to open source it at the start (it will be eventually). The counter argument of "Google makes billions and they can certainly afford to do X" always seems to be a bit silly to me, since companies are made of people and not money, not to mention that most things companies open source will not be driving revenue in any meaningful way (again, some does, but it's the minority of open source for most companies). Open source is more of a development methodology than a sane economic model. I've also changed over the years. After watching open source try to create a lot of products, these days i would definitely rather see good products than open source ones. Those things are 100% not mutually exclusive by any means, and in an ideal state you don't have to prioritize or choose between them. However it does mean that when i have to prioritize my choices, i'd rather have people concentrate on making good stuff than open source stuff. To start. In the end, i'd like it all to be open source :) Others are different for sure.
