That said, I 100% agree with the impact Ghidra has had on the market. It's definitely making it _much_ harder to sell a commercial product when a well maintained, zero cost, open source alternative is available. If we (Vector 35, Binary Ninja devs) hadn't been as far along in our development roadmap and growing our customer base as we were when Ghidra was released we'd likely have had to simply do something else which would be an overall loss for the community.

Who knows what other products/ideas will now never see the light of day. The barrier to entry was already extremely high in this space for a limited return, but now? Nearly impossible for anyone new to entry.
