That's the main point. No one buys software, they buy solutions. Accounting is a good example. I use a SaaS solution, but it doesn't matter because I could also take all my invoices to an accountant, and the effect would be the same.

On the flip side lot of open source devs are going to get 100x more productive in the Exploit part than the avg coder monkey at large corp. Nothing is obvious and predictable about where that story goes in an ever growing ever changing system. Large corps will keep funding whoever gets the job done. While AI might replace lot of Large Corps activity which is basically on the Exploit side of the Tradeoff.
