In industry, certainly. The free-because-it's-a-hobby crowd will still be well served by Codeberg.

Much like how you can get very cheap mass-manufactured furniture, but some people still build their own tables and chairs.

That’s a pretty good analogy I may have to borrow :) You can also get high quality mass produced furniture but there’s still a group that will always prefer to build their own and set their own standards.

The acquisition cost is not relevant. Many people who can afford furniture still make their own. Many people who get free furniture break it down and make something else with it.
