> Is OSS important because you want to inspect the code, fork it, self-host it, avoid vendor lock-in, or simply because you trust open-source developer tools more?

This sure sounds like it… but if you are why not just disclose that and be open about it? I don’t like the ethical leap that you made to do this. Why should I trust your product if you don’t care enough to tell the truth about your questions?
