I disagree with your statement. Audacity had a minor issue of data collection, which was to report user data to law enforcement if necessary. However, that can be disabled by the user still. Audacity is still open source and it still works. Yes, they didn't handle it the best but the attempted to make good of it.

Also, they didn't really screw over the user base of Musescore. Musescore still works great and they are providing an amazing product for free. Even though pure open source might not be their focus, I have a hard time condemning them for providing great, free products.

(I'm not affiliated with Musescore or their company. I'm just a happy user of both Audacity and Musescore, both of which are the only truly competitive free products in their respective domains.)
