Instances can be bought by billionaires. The software can't. And I don't think many billionaires would buy a website running a software that they cant control tbh

The software can, but the price is likely too high. In the end money can pressure anyone to do virtually anything. Having 100 lifetimes of productive work pressuring you to do something cannot just be ignored.

The software is open source. Everyone owns it, and you can't buy something that's owned by everyone
