To me this is just the conflict of interest just kicking in. Next is not built as rails, Django, Vue, etc... Next is a part of their business.

Don't believe it? Just look at the telemetry "feature". Try to disable it...something that should be just a config in next.config.js is a convoluted trap which will only disable it on your machine and you need to remember to disable it everywhere, etc...

As with Facebook (well, not that bad, but still...).Next isn't free.
