Yes, I think I phrased it in a wrong way. Sorry for misunderstanding.

What I mean is that there is a point until which the open-source project is not popular enough to be fully supported by the community. If this point takes too long to reach, and there is no way to financially support the project - the project might go bust or stop being maintained. We’ve seen it happen with quite a few even very popular projects.

Which is why personally I think the best way to build a sustainable open source project that is helpful for the community is to provide the most needed functionality for free and find a way to monetize the enterprise-level features.
