Open Source projects seem less hidebound by that. Look at the way things
have evolved, with old “traditional” *nix ideas being supplanted by new

things by first PulseAudio and then PipeWire, sysvinit by systemd (and
other options) etc.
Just goes to show, there is no “vendor lock-in” in the Open Source world.
