The same people that moan about some software being closed source will come back later crying because said software became a SaaS internet business with monthly fees...

No, it's as if one medic told another medic "you're not allowed to use any knowledge you got from my visit to help your patients unless you pay me".

You're saying that in a "Gotcha!" tone, as if you've caught these people out in an inconsistency. You haven't; there is no such inconsistency. Closed source can be bad even if SaaS is even worse.
