The concern is that for a lot of software these days, it starts in the "good" bucket (and often open source even), and then once it gets popular, it is bought out and enshittified.
Yes, unfortunately this happens regularly, but with open source software it is at least possible to fork it. We often see forks when there are major disagreements. Not all of them survive, but if the original is bad enough, the chances are pretty good. There are also projects that are developed or supported by a trustworthy foundation/organisation, where you don't have to worry about such bad development.
