I've been a fan of FOSS for a while, but the big thing pushing me even further is the fact that commercial services are adding so much advertising and data tracking. I'd happily pay for a piece of software that works as promised and does not include advertising, but when you start throwing ads in my face or putting features behind "IAPs" and subscriptions, I'm going to look for alternatives.
