I believe it’s a little more complicated than that. There are pros and cons to both open and closed source software.
Hubitat is a pretty flexible platform with its core, which is closed source, and the community of developers that offer open source groovy apps and drivers on top of that.
If a completely open source project, as a philosophy or for other reasons, is important enough, this isn’t the right solution.

The bazaar doesn’t always work. Especially in this space.
Code fragmentation leads to a support nightmare. Frankly, some community drivers and apps have already seriously impinged on UX, and have been tedious for support to debug.
And that’s not even getting into issues like the cost of IP infringement for a small startup.
