Even if so, some closed product winning now (in this "frame of the movie") is not evidence that open will eventually win, as you said above.

Besides, how "I'm talking a picture while you see the whole movie"?

The case of browsers I mentioned, for example, spans 2 decades+ that closed browsers dominate. Or take desktop operating systems: closed ones are winning for 5+ decades.

That's a whole lot of pictures. I don't think there's a historical based argument you made for how the movie ends, besides your faith in a particular outcome.
