it's not necessarily about people self hosting it, it's about people preferring to pay for hosted stuff that is open source (e.g. I pay for Plausible).

Now it's a lot easier to rewrite open source stuff to get around licensing requirements and have an LLM watch the repo and copy all improvements and fixes, so the bar for a competitor to come along and get 10 years of work for free it a lot lower.
