People want convenience and functionality more than no cost.
Spotify and other music subscription services have marginalized music piracy. For video Netflix made a huge impact while they had a lot of content and low prices. If you have to subscribe to three services instead of one, piracy becomes more popular again.
DaVinci resolve is not open source. If you want pro level features like HDR 10-bit colors and other features, it costs around 300 €$£.
GIMP is only used because it’s free.
Affinity Suite is the best replacement for photo, vector, layout.
I didn't say it was open-source. Most of its features are still free, though, and paying $295 for fully-functional video editing software is much better than the alternative.
Software like OBS are free and open-source, which is why it's the de facto video capturing software. Eventually, we'll end up with free, open-source, robust video editing software that can compete with DaVinci. For simple work, there's already software out there, like Shotcut.
