There are many possible reasons for preferring (Chris did not
"insist", in the quoted text) open source. It's tremendously
presumptuous to claim that he prefers it only "for the sake of it" - a
presumption that suggests you have no real argument to make.
I've fixed dozens of bugs in open source software as I've encountered
them. That alone is a significant advantage of open source.

I use my newsreader for both private and commercial purposes; perhaps
Chris does too. Not all users have the same requirements you do.

And I don't know why some people can't be bothered to type the vowels
in "people". One of life's little mysteries, I suppose.
