Spotify is a poor example since you need to pay royalties to the artists (can’t be free of cost). Operating systems, an office suite, Adobe replacements, game engines, CAD software and more could all in theory be FOSS-first

That’s not the only condition for a recession, several indicators are used in determining if there is a recession. This was relevant recently in the US as GDP dropped for 2 consecutive quarters and no recession was declared.

I can’t remember the source, but the number 1 issue in every swing state other than Michigan (which had Palestine as its #1) among democrat nonvoters and centrists who voted republican was grocery prices. Most of those states had inflation as their number 2 issue and Palestine as the third. Palestine alone wouldn’t have been enough to swing any state other than Michigan.

I think its pretty clear that the primary reason Kamala lost because she didn’t present a vision for the economy. She literally just said that the economy is fine. Inflation and grocery prices? Ignore those!

Inflation maybe shouldn’t have been as big of an issue since it was below 3% and on its way down but it was still a concern for a large number of voters.
