If Copilot is truly useful, $10 is really nothing in terms of developer productivity.
That being said, I hope a fully open source alternative springs up — this is the kind of tool that absolutely should be open and hackable. (The open source version still needs to cost something, maybe even more than $10 because AI compute ain't free).
I think an open source machine learning model wouldn't explain as much as you want. What I wish Microsoft to do, is to increase the transparency what material and from which platforms the model has been trained on.

Totally down for an Open Source version of it, without all of its magic being hidden inside a blackbox.
