For non-programmers, non-profit open source software is at least as opaque and inaccessible as for-profit software. At least with for-profit there is some monetary incentive to support and build the software, even when doing so is dull and tedious or when the users have uninteresting or troublesome asks. For many people there's nothing cozy about non-profit software; rather, it teeters on an abyss of frustration and suffering wrought of poor support and indifferent developer goals. And before it's stated, paying a contractor to modify open source software is just another for-profit model.
