Devs do free work for the world and hand it out as FOSS. UX people feel no compulsion to do the same so that's why we have the current state of things.
These are two separate skillsets that often don't overlap, you won't find many UX people contributing to open source projects.
- johnnyanmac 3y agowonder why dev culture is so vastly difference from other sectors in that regard. I guess it's because tech is arguably useless as-is except to other experts. And even an expert may struggle whipping up a competitor from scratch (i.e. not copying the code unless allowed). Whereas even the layman can see "good" art and "good" UX. But it's also not universally true. the acedemia sector of tech doesn't really open source stuff in the same regard. They may have some readable source, but you generally can't use it commercially without consulting the owners. I guess patents change a lot of how you work.
