OSS sometimes has advantages and other times is bad. For example I don't know a good OSS photo editing software. GIMP is clunky. Inkscape isn't too bad. But on the other hand there are tools like CryptPad that are open sourced and more secure alternatives to popular software (in this case Google Suite or Office 365). Or things like Signal. There's a slow turn towards privacy and "best of both worlds" but it is slow and we need more momentum.
