Open source is good because it allows us;
- the "penniless open source creators", to give to you;
- the "users" that cannot creat anything we do, but can create other things with what we created, hopefully:
programs,
machines,
concepts,
art,
and systems;
that in the proprietary world cost millions that you never ever in your life time will have and neither will we have.
And we do that for pennies or for free most of times.
That is how you can now have a 3D printer for less than 1% of the same machine was sold by Stratasys and their proprietary type of businesses untill a decade ago.
Or Free CAD or Blender or VLC, that outmatch many corporate paid programs and allow you, the technically analphabet user to create and use and enjoy things, concepts and creations that would of being locked up in a tall ivory tower out of your reach for ever if it was for the corporate lords and the way they think of you; simple monkies toying around in the mud.
We know the Chinese are making a steal using our work without direct compensation to us by stealing our work and mass producing it for dirty cheap making a nice living out of it for themselves, but we do have indirect compensation;
... we live to see our design and development mass produced by them for cheap for you; despite Stratsys and the likes (or yaykes) of them.
We also beneficiate in return of cheap components of other people's "creations in open source" that enables us to make more innovations and inventions that otherwise we could of never being able to buy at corporate prices, hence our ideas would of died inside us before even being born, kind off like the Leonardo Da Vinci's helicopter that he never lived to see in flight, but for different corporate reasons.
