The two thing you sent are not paid software. Giving example of something that make it’s UX shit on purpose is almost a good comparison to OSS software.
Again, there are good counterexample that made UX that are ahead their paid counterpart, but it’s an exception, not the rule.
Author point that we can’t have nice software because of capitalism, my point was that software developed without money incentive in mind are not nicer either.
Their merit is to be free and open, and that’s why a lot of people will use it, not because it has a better UI.

So you’re saying, that UIs are only good, if the user of the software pays for it directly, because offering a UI for free (like Instagram) disincentivices making it good, despite the fact that said UI requires a good UX to be even economically viable?
Have you used Microsoft Word, Windows or SAP lately?
Your entire argument sounds more like you really want to believe Atlas Shrugged was a documentary, and not like an analysis.

Do you twist my word on purpose maybe ?

Can you make a reply without twisting my words in the process ?
Yes for the first two.
I’m not American, I don’t get your references.
