I don't mind paying for software. And though I prefer open source software I don't mind closed source.

What I do mind is lock-in.

My comment was a little unclear. But I think sometimes people just take lock-in for granted.

As for Fusion 360: once your producted is manufactured you can just export the 3D data. This will loose all steps to create the model but I think people think this is a nice trade-off for the lock-in.

That's like keeping the binary but removing the source code. I don't find that acceptable.
