This is a great point. He's literally created a job.

  I'm not sure if I get the logic here. If he instead wrote a bunch of FOSS tools, then that would have been a worse outcome for society?

    In economic terms where money isn't circulating, yes. Now, many open source projects are used by other companies that are commercial, so that does grow the economy however.

  To take this point further, two jobs were kind of created. The vacancy left and the new job.

    And he hired a few full time employees, so more than 2 jobs were created.

    That doesn't seem accurate. When hypothetical "Person B" leaves their job to fill the vacancy, were 3 jobs now created?
