This is part of why I refuse to purchase things that further enshittification on principle, even if it means "putting up with" an open-source alternative. Anecdotally, I think that open-source software/hardware only ever gets better (because if it got worse, someone would fork it, etc...) while proprietary software will eventually succumb to rent-seeking and decline. I've seen many open source projects go from barely usable to matching their proprietary counterparts. Shoutout to Immich, full-featured self-hosted Google Photos alternative and my new favourite open-source project.
