Open source software is used by 10s of millions of customers and users around the globe. It performs equal to or better than the leading proprietary software from Microsoft and Google. It is secure because the code is open for inspection by engineers around the world. You don't need to take the word of a big company.
Examples of Success
More and more companies in Europe and the global south are turning away from Microsoft365 and Google Workplace to solutions like Nextcloud to gain control over their data, keep it away from AI bots, and reclaim data sovereignty. They are adopting EspoCRM for better and more affordable CRM over Salesforce, throwing Mailchimp to the curb to use Listmonk, and pushing away Zoom for Jitsi.
In an open source world everything is possible because the user has tools to build the solution that is exactly right for them.
