Never piss off engineers. So many software cartels went so far in ripping off their customer base that it caused a blistering clap-back. Companies like Maya were just taking the piss with their prices effectively pricing out all but big companies. A group of talented and, let's face it, awesome people built Blender into something not only as good as Maya, but better in most ways.

also see game engines e.g Unity(complete toss pots) and the evolution of Godot.

As for why people use Microscum's products like Excel, when LibreOffice is superior is beyond me.
