I know plenty of OSS companies willing to pay for software engineers. Why shouldn't it be a good lifestyle choice for developers?

The lifestyle worked in a time that creating OSS was hard to make.

Now it has gotten cheaper and cheaper with AI, to the point that OSS software can now be vibe coded and rebuilt in hours.

Why pour all that money in an OSS developer when you can vibe code your own?
