your making up the reason why I feel closed source is better!
I feel closed source is better because the people building closed source are doing so because in many cases there are millions invested in the product! if closed source didnt exist they would not have invested millions and would have created a product that for the general end user is not as good/easy/complete.
lets look at some obvious contenders
Best handheld game console - DS or PSP either way closed!
Best home games consol - 360 or PS3 closed
Best Ereader - sony or kindle closed
Best laptop - nameany of teh top ten closed
Best TV remote - Harmony? closed
Best TV - sony or whatever Closed!
etc etc
there is some VERY good open source software but again closed is for the majority of end users better
OS - Win/osx Closed
photography - apeture or PS Closed
Games name any really Closed
Closed isbetter because all the good stuff is closed its that simple for me.
with our (western worlds) models/economies etc closed devices and software are better.
