I think with anything, it's a love hate. I open sourced https://github.com/nadermx/backgroundremover , and it's been cool in terms of vanity, but depending on my mood it either feels cool or like a chore to do work on it.

I made https://github.com/nadermx/backgroundremover which can be installed and used fully with no restrictions, MIT licensed. Yet people still feel the need to pay for API usage or my GUI at https://backgroundremoverai.com
