Why are you calling open source of market?
These appear to be feuds and battle of ideas fought between contributors, with minimal input from end users. There is no price signal at all
Re. Bicycles, it’s not a healthy market. Shimano dominates with 70% share in gears and brakes. Top 3 manufacturers have what, 95%+?
Also look at how cargo bikes cost 3x what a normal bike does, but have same components.
With that structure, users have zero input on size of breakpads.
