I totally agree with you, but lets not forget that we are going through a phase where the open source model is suffering over the lack of incentives.
We need to figure it out a good and sustainable economic model or else it might start falling apart.
I really think that society, governments, civil entities should step up with some formula, because i mean, this is the XXI century infrastructure.. open source software are now the "roads" where everything is passing through.
Government all around worry about their physical infrastructure, so why not start to care about the virtual infrastructure we all rely on? Where a big chunk of the economy, culture and society in general are relying on?
Unfortunately capitalism on its own is failing in presenting a good solution, unless you think the guy running (idk) some important crypto code having to take care of ads to survive is a sign that everything is working as it should.
I would love if we had some sort of "trickle-down tax", where we use dependency resolution and some algo to rate the importance of that particular dependency and make the software and services that are using them and being payed for it, to let some of the profit to help the open source ones (here i think a blockchain solution might be of some help, as things would be totally automated).
