    But when the open source app becomes the best one, it becomes impossible to beat it. Look VLC for example.

      There are a few examples where the foss version of the app became the best one. I am having trouble remembering others. But I think BitWarden is just as good as any paid password manager.

      Vlc is basically what it is because of ffmpeg and the likes, which are… Corporate supported :p
      That said ffmpeg didnt start that way, but at one point it was and vlc quickly jumped into popularity because of it and it quickly supporting new formats ( like mkv back in 2003/2004 ).
      Youre not wrong, but its more complex than that xD
