The difference is in the user demographic. You can’t have an algorithm to satisfy both the YouTube audience and the TikTok audience.

Firefox is somehow struggling at picking up feedback from users and Safari is not open source.

I have a charger that can charge up to four controllers for years now.

M$‘s priority is to draw new people on their products and make people upgrade to higher tiers. Existing users are none of their concern. There are business models who will put the product team to focus on existing users. One way is an open source product run by the users community, another way is product relying on the effect of word of mouth.

Sadly not under the cold war we are having right now.

You can view and contribute, so do all the help possible but you can’t modify/rebuild/release a different version. That is not open source, that is called open to volunteer.

Open hardware is not something sustainable. Hardware does not enjoy the benefit of open source software.

Open projects inside the 3D printing community might be possible but anything requires heavier R&D would not work.

While I morally agree with you, this is not how our world works yet.

Gameplay videos are fun but the game gets stale hard. Watching the initial gameplays you would expect the game to grow and get more depth over time, but it won’t. Perhaps it would be a fun game for kids but not teens or adults.

It worked in the history doesn’t mean it should be continued that way. Also neighbors and companies tended to share the same newspaper back then.

Writing was also a much rarer skill in the past.
