Fair point. How many people know OpenCode, Pi? How many pct of ppl code? How many pct of companies buy their own hardware with GPUs? It is similar situation e.g. as Salesforce vs Odoo. Imho 99 pct of companies choose SF, not Odoo.

And the overwhelming majority of LLM users will never use them or even understand what they are or how to set them up. Those people will remain dependent, and we shouldn’t ignore that.
