One does not replace the others though.
There are still independent hackers doing a great deal of open source (Let's put them in the free software category). That is especially true for the node community.
There are many projects build by full time employees dominated by 1-2 companies (a good example here are the ASF projects).
There are gigantic projects that are possible to be developed in high pace only through collaboration even between competitors (Kubernetes in CNCF)
There won't be only one way of doing OSS. But I believe there will be again a rise of independent software hackers and this time they will be better equipped with tools for automation, distribution, funding, marketing, etc.
