I do not agree. Sure there are plenty examples where the open source/community edition is an afterthought. But there are also a lot of products where the open source/community edition is the base of the product and the propriety version includes additional modules and/or hosting.
Take for example JFrog's Artifactory, Sonatype Nexus, SonarQube. The proprietary versions are just bundled with additional modules.
I think those are likely outliers. If you look at a vast majority of enterprise SaaS or even developers tools. The community edition is the first row on the left with smallest feature set, then it moves on to the small, medium and then enterprise functionality, often even a different code base. There are some exceptions but I think if we can align an open source license with reuse on a specific platform then you have an opportunity to build open source, benefit from collaboration, and sell a product.

We're a place where coders share, stay up-to-date and grow their careers.
