Open Source is a marketing term if your solution takes $2m worth of compute or devops time in order to run properly. The idea is, you have a way out if you want to leave. An option. But if leaving costs $x,xxx,xxx then that option was never there for most people. One example is NextJS. It's open source but even CloudFlare couldn't figure out how to run it properly on their platform.
It does not cost $2m of compute to run an instance of Cloudflare OS. I am running it on a random server in my basement.
Another year or two of RAM shortages should go a long way to closing that gap.
