Because very few people use the term open core unless they are trying to be a pedant or nitpick, and your comment (and the grandparent) come off as trying to detract from the thread with a strawman.

The original post even explicitly explains what part of the offering is MIT licensed and what is commercial. So what is your point arguing semantics about open core?

People using Open Core don’t often use the term, since many of them are sleazebags who try to avoid using the term to try to hide the fact that they are using it, often prominently using the “Open Source” moniker, with various bad excuses when they are called out.
Nope. Open core vs open source is a big difference.
