Pretty much all commercial archviz oriented 3D rendering software (where I've spent the last 10 years) continues to feel the heat from such efforts, including Blender and all the support it gets these days from AMD and Nvidia.
Don't understand why you're getting so harshly downvoted.
I dont really understand it either. Whats is happening is that some giants give out “free” software, kill their competition and then monetise in other ways (personal data, or cross selling other products), while in some cases they make use of open source products to sell services. Either way the only win is a lousy 9-5 job for programmers who write the freeware, or loss of jobs for those developed the code commercially. Basically open source for non mission critical software is digging one’s own grave.
Didn't vote but I simply don't see how it is a bad thing when free software competes with commercial software. Something that used to cost money can now be done for free, sounds great to me.
