But they *do* accurately reflect the relationship between vendors and
users from Duncan's viewpoint.  Your viewpoint is obviously different,
but doesn't mean yours is the only "true" one.

When a user (who can't read/write source code) has an OSS app or utility
break frequently, should they feel enslaved?

No.  They should feel empowered to learn about programming and help
fix it, or entice others to do so.
