FOSS software demonstrates that one of the suppositions of capitalism - that innovation is primarily driven by profit motive - is incorrect. Humans want to help each other. People want to improve the world even if they’re not paid for it.

I've always been drawn to FOSS alternatives because they aren't driven to try to create value by having unnecessary bells and whistles, they just work and continue to work as the years go by

As profit first software gets worse over time.
