No. It suggests open source is simply non-trivial to get right and requires a lot of time and effort that isn't always well spent doing that when you first start out. Time you spend on that is time you spend not on your product. I would strongly suggest you choose one or the other (IE either do a good job of it or don't do it at all).

I also think you are vastly oversimplifying this.

You also seem to have an interesting view of what happens when you open source stuff that is not at all consistent with what i've seen over the past 20+ years across a variety of projects. But YMMV, of course.
