I think the argument here ignores a critical fact: a huge factor in Claude Code's popularity is the Claude Max plans. These plans give you potentially thousands of dollars of tokens for a capped $200.

Speaking for myself, I long for the day I can dump the comparatively garbage experience of Claude Code for something more enjoyable and OSS like OpenCode. But the fact is that it is simply not economically viable to do so.

So the PMF is not really for Claude Code alone -- it is for Claude Code + Claude Max.
