The simplistic answer is the same for why seemingly everyone chooses proprietary
software; it's just easier[^yt]. There's clearly a large quality gap between
FOSS and Proprietary code. Maybe it's prettier, maybe it crashes less, maybe it
has that one feature you need. Truth be told, none of these are hard problems,
all could be very easy to fix given someone spends the time. And there's the
problem. Free and open-source software, usually meets all meanings for the word
free. Only until you consider the time-cost to create that software. Proprietary
software isn't better, it's only they're more likely to be able to afford to
fund the extra time required.
