Doesn't bother anyone to just copy/paste an existing software and build it in Open Source?

Yeah it feels weird to me too.

Similar/inspired-by software is fine but if a commercial project were to rip off everything down to the style and design of an existing app it would not be okay at all, what makes it okay if it's open source?
