Pretty strange thing to say in the context of a closed source app.

My intent was to express sympathy to making a closed source app instead of an open source one.

Something must have got lost in translation because it fits the context exactly.

It doesn't add anything material to the discussion.

It's equivalent to saying 'I worked on a closed source project and liked it, therefore open source model sucks.'
