I think the reason open source helps adoption is because:

A) I can conveniently install it and work with it via apt, yum, dnf, etc. for free at home.

B) I trust that the product will remain alive as long as its interest and users are, not when funding runs out.

Who wants to put time into vaporware? I don't want to pay for it until I know it's good and that it'll be around. I don't think being hostile to AWS takeover with change adoption.
