What does it alleviate? How does it alleviate it?
It seems like your reply not really with reference to what I said. What does free software do with regard to "...for people to work on it a lot, they need to be paid."?

When this happens, and a platform starts going to shit, FOSS would enable users to either easily migrate to a new platform, or just fork the platform itself into something new.
