    proton as leveraging open source to avoid dev costs

    As a developer, I have no problem with this. Why do work that doesn’t need to be done?

      I don’t either, that is what open source is for afterall. I’m trying to point out that this decision wasn’t out of love for his customers but out of love for his bottom line. This let him compete with platforms with devices while having a seriously low entry cost compared to them. It’s just a smart business decision but people treat it as if it was charity.
