The days of custom software are over in general. Every major niche has at least one major player that offers its services for free, selling your data (or ads, etc) in exchange. I'm not sure Sublime Text gets any money anymore now that VS Code does all the same things and more. Custom music players have been dead since Winamp 3. The 1990s and 2000s were like the Wild West for software, now it's like California, fully settled and complete with monopolies.

We must now contend with these power brokers and ask their permission for every install.
