Yes, absolutely. Selfish personal reasons to work on open source might include not wanting to run unseen software, being able to take your work to subsequent engagements, community network effects including new features, maintainership, translations, issue reporting and resolutions. Moral reasons might include contributing to tools that are available to all. Commercial reasons might include not being vendor-locked, ensuring there is no secret DRM system, ensuring that code and files can be accessed and modified far in to the future even if you lose a decade/team/team member/compiled binary/compilation toolchain, etc.
