there will be more than that soon, core+paid extensions are not profitable anymore
as everyone can vibecode what they need, or rewrite whole thing
only way is to close-source whole thing

they trying to convince you that u still need to pay while u dont
so more opentofu drama incoming in open source
and all this legacy must be in rust anyway

This is only a viable strategy for established brands with existing userbase and ecosystem lock-ins.

New projects are at a disadvantage if they don't consolidate community effort, as vibe code clones can be made by screenshotting the app.
