When a project has full-time maintainers that are community-sponsored is it unethical to compete if it means they could be out of a job? How do you quantify a projects value if it could have a negative effect on people’s lives? Utilitarianism? This isn’t targeted or a subtweet.

This question is essentially “is capitalism ethical?” but in this case if an effort was made to collaborate it seems like less of a grey area to me.

if the architecture and philosophy are incompatible, maybe offering an alternative would actualy do good ?

At that point I think it’s totally reasonable to pursue your alternative. It’s a conversation worth having with that project’s team and users though. “We are considering developing an alternative with X features for Y reasons.”
