There is a reverse transition to monetize the open-source versions with a hosted-service also. Lot more products being built "in the open" these days.
Anyway, it is kinda interesting to see that it doesn't take long for copies of a new tech to show up. Zero-to-one seems sporadic, but immediately we see the market replicate it.
Recently seen with something seemingly complex like DALL-E. Didn't take long for the comparables to crop up. Some of them must be open-source, I am not aware of that aspect.
Apple Airpods was another one. Almost within a year, there were other earphones available in that form-factor.
