Vlc is basically what it is because of ffmpeg and the likes, which are… Corporate supported :p
That said ffmpeg didnt start that way, but at one point it was and vlc quickly jumped into popularity because of it and it quickly supporting new formats ( like mkv back in 2003/2004 ).
Youre not wrong, but its more complex than that xD
Depending on what you’re trying to create blender is very easily beat by other programs. Almost every time a friend watches me use blender I’ll get hit with “this would be so much easier in fusion 360”
There are a few examples where the foss version of the app became the best one. I am having trouble remembering others. But I think BitWarden is just as good as any paid password manager.
But when the open source app becomes the best one, it becomes impossible to beat it. Look VLC for example.
