If you are not happy with the direction a certain piece of software is heading in, you are free to switch to a competitor that fits your workflow better.

This mentality is what led to Windows XP sticking around long after being declared dead.

If you are lucky to have a competitor. This type of thinking is so naive, I can't believe we still see it pop up every now and then.

I'd like you to expound upon that lack of competition. Where does it pop up?

Android vs iPhone, any website that is moving into a "modern" framework direction. Software that runs MRI's, or CT's. Also any software that is picked by middle management, rather than the people that actually use the software: ADP, Oracle, anything in the education realm, etc.
