At least you usually have runway. If your favorite OSS project closes its doors, you probably have a year or three until bitrot finally closes the doors. Same goes for many closed-source softwares, and physical products.
With a closed-source service on somebody else's servers, they can turn it off tomorrow and it's just gone.
