since code is so cheap to generate, an ai can basically replicate your product just by looking at it, opensource just makes it easier to steal your architecture if you’re actually good at programmin...
Selling software was never a long term strategy in my opinion; selling hardware is much more difficult to replicate. You can have all the code and schematics you want, but you can't fabricate 2nm chips in your 3d printer.
I think consumers will prefer open source software. Especially in the blockchain industry, where security is paramount. No black boxes. Wasn't that the point of open source; peer review and verified code.
Besides that, Apple routinely updated iOS with jailbreak mods; free research and development. You'd see spikes in older device sales with every jailbreak, as people searched for the dated firmwares (often sold for a premium). Going back to my point, hardware is the long term strategy.
