What you give up either way

Large-scale CAPTCHA/anti-bot solving infrastructure and proprietary bot-avoidance heuristics
High-availability, low-latency global infrastructure and SLAs (99.9%+ uptime)
Ongoing weekly addition of retailer-specific parsing and managed templates
Polished managed dashboard, onboarding, and support

An open-source project doing the core job proves a replacement is possible. It does not prove it matches Crawlbyte, and it does not prove anyone has run it for a month. How we decide.
