Linux is up to 5% of the desktop. Gog and Itch.io are DRM-free, and are slowly gaining ground against Steam. Fediverse networks are slowly gaining ground against traditional social media. Signal is more popular then ever.

That's not to say the open ecosystem isn't better, but to say it's winning enough to guarantee sustained general purpose viability is simply untrue.
