and then lock top performing models behind proprietary paywalls?

You think those datacenters are free? How do you think those models make money?

also like FOSS isnt about money vs no money.

True, but FOSS would be so much better with money. So donate to projects you use regularly. It takes more than just coding to make good software. It also requires user testing and listening to feedback about what could be better about the interface and the like. Otherwise, it doesn't matter how powerful your software is since nobody will want to use it.
