the reason open source matters in software is that the components are "free" and "manufacturable at home" (it's mostly time and computing power). an open source car or chemical is essentially useless to 99.9% of users because i am not going to drop-forge an engine in my home. i can't synthetize this random chemical in my bathroom.

"the goal of capitalism isn't too maximize profit or extract value, it's to [...]" no. you're talking about a different thing. capitalism is this, maximizing profit. things are happening that are bad that aren't capitalism, and you've noticed one of them. you don't have to assign that to capitalism and re-define what it means

it's 10 minutes before alternate side parking goes in effect and there's a guy parked in front of me that prevents me from driving away from the spot i'm parked in (to be fair i, should not have parked on the curb, but,)

it's so wild to me that in france if i offer to rent something for a long time, the landlord will often agree to lower the price a little: they have a garantee that the property will bring them something, and they don't have to manage it for a while.
meanwhile here if i try to rent something for a longer period, the landlord refuses, because calculating how much to raise my rent is hard. rents in the area could go up 30% by next year! maybe they could make a lot more renting to someone else! -
