You make it sound like:

a. Open sourced software is immediately found and used

b. Getting money from software is as easy as placing it online

Neither one is true, nobody will give you money without you putting it some effort, whether it’s through advertising or if you already have a sizable following ready to buy your products. If you’re neither, feel free to open source it and expect zero user and zero income, just have it as a showcase if you’d like.
