Basically, what the title says. Do you use any app, that is proprietary, but either has no OSS alternatives or they’re all not good enough? If there is an alternative, what keeps you from switching?

It is not. FUTO calls it “source first” which just means “open source but with rules against bad actors”. Certainly far from proprietary.
If the license doesn’t meet the OSD and does not protect four freedoms, then it is not open-source.
It is by FUTO’s definition.
Jokes aside, I find that attitude not very healthy. Whether you want to call it open source or not, as I said, it’s far from proprietary, and certainly more than just source available. Dismissing it for that reason is quite unreasonable.
Calling a source-available license “not proprietary”, this is what not very healthy.
“Source-first” or “fair code” are just a fancy ways to say “proprietary”.
It is not open source, because it does not meet the definition of open source.
