What would "the financials" be on a git replacement? No one makes money on git itself. Probably not much even on the services around git, given that Microsoft funds github for its own reasons, and gitlab is constantly running out of money.

OSS as a GTM channel is well established, including amongst YC companies.

So the financial model is no different from any other SaaS. Whereas hardware is high risk capital intensive and China centric.
