What the parent meant here is that competitors would have sued because Blender is free and open source. Which isn't the case for the companies you listed. More like the makers of Maya, 3dmax, etc.

My kid has his times when he struggles. But then one day he picked up a Dr. Seuss book and read it out loud from beginning to end. He was two and I have no ideas when or how he learned to read.
