.NET was open sourced in 2016, that's 6 years ago. It looks like you were 1+ years fully within the ecosystem before any part of it was OSS, and now you're demanding new features they write get open sourced as well?

Reminds of that time they introduced WiFi on planes; it was a brand new thing, and they let folks on the flight use it for free - but of course being a new tech it broke down after about an hour. There was this guy on the flight making a big fuss about the WiFi stopping working, like truly upset and vocal about it. Dude, how are you owed something you didn't even know existed an hour ago?

I agree with this sentiment, but you forgot to credit Louis CK for the anecdote you borrowed.
He should steal material from less well-known comedians. That's what the pros do.
Ah, a connoisseur! :)
They replace an existing open source feature with a closed source one.

So that's totally different.

No they don't, they give you a choice between the existing open source solution and a new closed source one.
