What you give up either way

Production polish (latency optimizations, robust voice switching, polished personalities)
Large voice library and curated persona tuning
Cross-platform mobile camera-first experience and native mobile optimizations
Scale handling, analytics, and platform-specific integrations (Twitch/YT direct hooks)
Legal/moderation workflows and refund/billing ops handled at scale

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