They don’t need to know the technical side of it to understand “this is cheaper, it doesn’t have ads plastered everywhere”
They also don't need to know the technical side of it to say 'wow, this app doesn't work and/or it's out of date' to close it and go back to something that works/fits their use case, even if it has ads.
I've tried to get people to use FOSS alternatives, but most would rather it work with no effort and deal with a lesser experience than having to fight with it to make it do what the other app does natively.
