I agree with your sentiment, but this is not the right reaction. It won't improve anything.

What's the point of open source if companies just steal it, build billion dollar industries on top, and then lock everything down?

You are free to adjust the license to prevent this. But then tomorrow everybody comes and rants about that the GPL is too restrictive. That's the price we pay for this. It's the license that keeps work free.

The right reaction is not to stop producing open source software. The right reaction is to adjust the license.
