There’s been a relatively recent swelling of $100M ARR commercial open-source businesses (Confluent, Elastic, Mongo, GitLab). The common strategy seems to be an “open core” with $$$ enterprise-level addons. Are there any examples on that scale with consumers as customers?

You could say this is also Microsoft’s new business model. They keep open sourcing more and more of their core and are relying more and more on services like Azure for revenue.
