Open source is great, but the reality is that closed source software is still a huge chunk of the industry. Most mobile apps are closed source. Almost everything Apple has touched is closed source. Google, Microsoft, IBM, OpenAI, etc. Closed source software development is very dominant in the industry. More so than I think Stephenson ever thought it would be.
