In the web engine realm, it is very true (like apple web engine). Their web engine is open source and is massive and "beyond sanity" complex (including their SDK) and to stay honest, this size and complexity is not pertinent for tons of services provided over internet (basic web forms can do magic). But GNU is doing kind of the same, for instance with gcc and the glibc. So it is nasty open source vs nasty open source, and it happens with US software which the whole world uses. open source software is not enough anymore: lean and simple, but good enough to do an okay job, stable in time open source software/protocols seems to be the only reasonable way out of this. It is going to hurt, because it makes planned obsolescence very hard to do then scammers and brain-washed web devs will fight it.
