Did you not fix bugs in the oss you run, pre-LLM? Or not bugs, just your own changes? Being able to just grab the source and tweak it without needing to try to RE or wait around or convince the owners/developers to do something I wanted to happen was one of the biggest selling points.

Most people did not do this, no. Or even if you did, upstreaming the patch was even more uncommon.
