I dont really understand it either. Whats is happening is that some giants give out “free” software, kill their competition and then monetise in other ways (personal data, or cross selling other products), while in some cases they make use of open source products to sell services. Either way the only win is a lousy 9-5 job for programmers who write the freeware, or loss of jobs for those developed the code commercially. Basically open source for non mission critical software is digging one’s own grave.
