There are actual benefits to a product like Supabase being opensource, some are:
1- Peace of mind. You might not choose to host it now, but you have one more way out, if you don't like their service (of course they also should provide access to your raw data)
2- Quality of code. If you have ever dealt with really bad code that works apparently well, you know how important it is to have code that you can proudly release to public.
3- Possibility of contribution. This is something I dismissed until it happened to me, in multiple occasions: you have a problem (missing feature, bug, performance problem, etc), you request it, or even contribute it. For most closed source projects, you're lucky if there is a transparent channel to request features.
