That's why open source rules
I use a lot of open source apps which aren't as polished, the UIs need work, they're clunky, and they won't enshittify.
Yeah and there's just as many paid for programs with the same issues... What's your point? Want me to show you some open source programs that are polished? Heard of blender before? That's not the point I was making anyway... The issue with non foss software is that you have ZERO control over it. Big corporations can decide to drop support at any moment or make a free tier paid.
Allow me to reiterate:
