I am maybe part of the crowd you describe, but I don't disagree so much with you.

I just think, that:

> I happen to believe that barriers to collaboration results in less software for everybody.

is not a bad thing. There is absolutely no lack of supply for software. The "market" is flooded with software and most of it is shit. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sturgeon%27s_law

No argument that there is a lot of bad software.

I am not as much on the bandwagon for “there is no lack of supply for software”.

I think more software is good and the more software there is, the more good software there will be. At least, big picture.

I am ok with there being a lot of bad software I do not use just like I am ok with companies building products with Open Source. I just want more software I can use. And, if I create Open Source myself, I just want it to get used.
