It tends to make a difference whether your primary point of contact is
marketing or users. Feature progress in a commercial setting does not
make it feasible to have the developers overexposed to people without a

I no longer think the licensing model can be
separated from the
usefulness of the tool.
I fully agree with this sentiment and the things you said
afterwards.
Licensing choice isn't just a different flavour or colour of software.
Conversely, choosing a closed license doesn't mean that you don't care
about your product, but it does mean that you restrict the way it can be
used, which, as you point out, makes it less useful (all other factors
being the same).
