I don’t understand your comment, can you elaborate? I’m saying that drawing corporate investment into open software is preferable to all of that investment going into proprietary software. I want as much open software as possible and I want us to be practical at all levels. Big swings like public grants and a better safety net (even UBI) are things I’m supportive of too, and can coexist with incentives for drawing in corporates. There’s a certain purism argument that a company that is involved in open software is constantly criticized for being insufficiently open but a proprietary software company receives no such similar criticism, which I think is irrational.
I don't know which exact company you are talking about. I see most proprietary companies heavily criticized and do so myself and used to heavily advocate for OSS at $work. My current work is 99.9% opensource.
As for my point, the main issue you are pointing out is the fundamental flaw in capitalism: companies focus on profit instead of technological progress. The two can be correlated but that isn't granted. See enshittification.
There are other economical models that could potentially address the shortcomings of capitalism but a lot of effort is put into discrediting socialist/communist ideas as they threaten the wealth of the wealthiest.
