Supabase is a copy of Firebase. Same question?

Supabase real time is open source while firebase is not.

You cannot provide firebase as part of your services because you cannot self host it.

I asked why to understand the reason for another open source implementation.

Point being you can usefully have two or more of the same type of thing, even if their only difference is the quality of the team building them. That's why the market sustains more than one car of each type.
