what features does vMix have, which OBS doesnt, that would be worth switching to a proprietary and paid program instead of a free, open source one?

I'd be interested to know as well. I may be in the minority, but I'll take a FOSS project with 80% of the features over a proprietary one with 100% of the features, almost every time. The philosophy of freedom is usually more important to me than squeezing out every last drop of functionality in exchange for a black box that I have to pay for and rely on some company that may or may not exist in a few years to develop it.

vMix is Windows-only, so I'd imagine the people it targets don't think about licensing much.
