Let's face it: People don't want to pay for the software they're using. They don't want to pay for their phone apps and they don't want to pay for the maintenance of their Linux Server stack. Even just installing security updates seems to be too much for many, let alone paying for their creation. So what we get is bitrot, plain and simple. The obvious alternative is to rent software. But now we have the offering party who doesn't want to pay for maintenance, either and, again, we end up with bitrot. What we'd need is a way to visualize bitrot and have everyone regularly pay for a renovation.
