I wish this wasnt the case. An open core product shouldn't be the industry standard as it's not truly open source (I doubt HashiCorp would allow a PR that brings enterprise functionality to open core) and the open core/give it away for free model stiffes competition (see Vaults pricing for an example, they know they own the market).

How is open core not truly open source? Of course they wouldn't accept a pull request that makes their pay product obsolete. But open source does not dictate that you must accept all pull requests.

There is nothing stopping you from forking the project and adding all the enterprise functionality you want.
