Probelm is, to be able to do what you're describing, you still need the source code and the permission to modify it. So you will need to switch to the FOSS tools the nerds are using.
That's a feature, not a bug.
It means normies will finally see value in open source beyond just being free. They'll choose it over closed source alternatives.
This, too, makes a brighter future.
