Yeah I was too negative. Vendor lock-in sucks so I'm glad someone is tackling it and I should have started with that.
But I think people shouldn't hold back criticism either just because something is free or open source. Stability AI (Stable Diffusion) just sold out and took $100 million from investors after being open source. Even if they're providing something altruistically now you never know if that will change after VC, buyout offer, or some other event.
