Because open source "devs" can't make an actual product. LLMs are there direct competition, both competing for user attention.

The idea that code gluers understand the code better than a chatbot (that admittedly totally lacks the ability to understand) isn't clear.

Just like an LLM they can only create very ill-thought-out ripoffs of software from the 70s and 80s (they have yet to reach the level of ripping off 90s Microsoft.)
