idk, lets use things you know.
Why do you use Ruby on Rails, why not rewrite it so you can release it without relyig on that?

And even if we're talking hypotheticals: stupid example. I haven't worked on a backend where the actual server infrastructure wasn't open source, trivial to open source because it was first party, or irrelevant because the only thing that matters would be the API and protocols, which again, trivial to make open.
Get a job in industry and see for yourself.
I’m not going to break confidentially to sate your ignorance.
Getting all defensive and not answering it doesn't really help your industry's case here.
Ok, lets talk about the kinds of things we need.
Networks have latency, so we need to smooth/correct for that.
Our connections need to be authenticated, so we need middleware to handle tokens, because we don’t hand-roll that. On a binary protocol.
Our physics engines are complicated: we don’t usually write our own from scratch; and the server needs physics to simulate the world.
Shall I continue?
