I think we're thinking about it wrong. These aren't open source people looking to contribute to projects. These are product creators looking to reach the open source community. It's not the same mindset.
Oh, I do know that. But lots of folks even here don't and that is my problem with all that.
The FOSS community shouldn't praise them or companies like them simply for open sourcing the MVP of a new product.
That's a fair take
