Turns out pure profit incentive only goes so far in incentivising "quality products and services", and after a while it becomes literally mandatory to be an asshole in order to continue following the profit.
Even paid Libre projects (of which there are a couple) tend to be less dickish than their blackbox cousins, after all, if they were chasing maximum profit and infinite growth, they wouldn't be a libre project now would they?
