That's not what a false equivalency is, but ok.

FOSS has this reputation among most people.

Most people don't have any clue what FOSS is. They just want software, and if its free and works, they'll like it.

I am genuinely curious why you think people pay money for worse software though...

I provided two reasons in my post. Superior marketing and professional support.

That was my entire point. The person I was originally replying to seemed to suggest exactly that.

Ok, but thats not what you went on to say.

You are not arguing in good faith, I don't care to continue going in circles.
