Which long term libre software helps them do. Without it companies just keep stealing the open source features and moving the target of "good".

Sometimes you have to use very broad definition of "works". Often (certainly not always) UX and general aesthetic design for many open source apps is extremely poor compared to their proprietary alternatives.
