A problem with open and free projects (to oversimplify the ideological differences) is the source of time and purpose.
The production cost is subsidized as a Hobbie not as a profession, so it's hard to expect a 'consumer product'. When you put external money and corporate interest in your hobbies, something breaks.
Not saying open products don't have to exist, we all love them. They cover different creative needs, and usually are a gift for the community.
