A big advantage of using free open source software is that the licensing prices will never increase because the company needs a new revenue stream to support its business model. Docker Desktop was free, now it's $21/month, what will it cost next year when Docker needs more money?

Licensing prices might not increase, but paid technical support costs could theoretically be unlimited. Especially if you're at the mercy of an open-source software that isn't well-maintained.

That depends on how many frogs contentedly stay in the pot.
