Did you see what is happening right now in the crypto world? 90% of the coins listed on CoinMarketCap are copy paste of Bitcoin with some makeup, a colorful logo, and bunch of celebrities as advisors only to justify the speculation and to deceive people into buying something with no substance at all.
That is against the idea of common sense and legality and not only endangers investors lured into speculative pump and dump scams, but also drives money in the wrong projects and that goes AGAINST innovation and against the evolution of the few healthy projects there are.
Open source is not the holy grail and it is not automatically the best solution, it needs some adjustments to work in a real world founded on greed. The world is not just theory like you picture it.
