I buy Prusa for the support and documentation. I would never buy a clone of the entire printer or MMU because it's completely devoid of, and doesn't fund, continued support and development. Open source hardware and software allows me to repair and tinker it. To change the bargain because of knock-offs is a reactive failure that harms customers while doesn't do much except delay knock-offs slightly (there are many, many more talented hardware engineers overseas who don't need schematics, more than in Europe or America). Going closed-source harms the legitimate customer and right to repair.
