I think it’s mostly a value capture thing. More money to be made hooking devs in then broke creatives and failing studios (no offense, it just seems like creatives are getting crushed right now). In one case you’re building for the tech ecosystem, in the other for the arts. VC will favor tech, higher multiples. Closed source is more protected from theft etc in many cases.

But as you point out there are great solutions so it’s clearly not a dead end path.
