The license is a closed-source, proprietary, source-available license.

It is not open to use as you please.

Not open either. :)

TBH, I love BSL licenses. You can use it as you want for free, except being a competitor, and there is a high chance of a sustainable business model. (What benefit do you expect if the company goes bankrupt?) Despite the unpopular opinion, you have free and easy access to the code, so it is open source in the sense of words. Just not in the sense that you can steal their business like AWS does. Feel free to start a similar project, invest your time and money, and make it available under whatever license you want.

What's not open about it? I see the source, I see instructions to build from source, I see a license that seems to say I can copy and make derivative works out of it. Can you try to make a more substantive comment?
