The subject of open sourcing really comes across as a "purity test" sometimes. Disregarding the reality that yes, research and software development take a lot of time, effort, and money. Ignoring this reality can be convenient but it's not helping to make the world better.

Sometimes just doing things to make random people on the internet happy is just not in your own self interest.

You have every right to build this out, and decide which pieces you wish to be in the public domain.

One of the arguments for the more fervent open source promoters is that this is wrong because you're standing on the shoulders of giants. i.e. pay it forward. In theory, true. But we don't have the social support structure to actually make this work practically.

I think the 'shoulder of giants' theory is tricky / most ML researchers are more focussed on publishing so they can move onto the next thing/keep funding going rather than worrying about the downstream tasks it's used on for profit

of course I know those working on PhD's with adobe/nvidia etc who's code will be closed source until patents and publication etc.
