I think opensource has decided to become big corporate cheerleader for a while and not actually done things strictly in the interest of users or developers, but providing the ideological justification as to why big companies can use their code and not give a dime back. I think aside from free software there could have been a movement where contributing to a free-software project would have allowed contributors to get payed and this would have to preclude companies simply using code as they can in say the MIT license and not give back.

Instead opensource is full of cynical projects and real important projects that do amazing work with maintainers who shoulder a great burden having to listen to people bitch about them for features and fixes while giving nothing and dealing with bad PR's (or even just having to evaluate good and mediocre PR's). Often the only pay is that you can go to HR and shit corp with your CV and say "Here is what I have done, can I now be treated like a bitch for more money".

I think opensource has allowed a lot businesses to treat developers with contempt and this is fully manifest with the way they conceive of AI agent's and Open source has probably become a vector for demoralization and devaluation more then anything.
