Even by your analogy, yes I'd rather have a wooden cart compared to carrying things in my hands.

That said your analogy doesn't apply to tech. "It just doesn't okay" isn't a very satisfying answer from a logic standpoint, but as the other user pointed out almost all corporate software is built upon, or massively, and I mean massively relies upon the efforts of Open Source software.

I can't really think of any other industry like this or an analogy for this, but that is how it works. Example: GNU/Linux is FOSS, and is the go-to for server software for businesses, and it's starting to creep into end user products too, from Dell laptops to Raspberry Pi to the Steam Deck (if you're familiar with that - Proton is also open source).
