I think it’s a legitimate question! Some companies operate at such a scale that if you tried to adopt their tools or services, it would be way too complex for the ROI.
Think Bazel or how K8s was for ~ever. For Google’s scale? Required. For a small team? A net-negative.
High switching costs is a form of lock-in "open source" or not.. This is something people with real experience making real decisions are well aware of..
