games! in maybe 95% of cases you can find an open alternative to some (non-game) software, but with games it's the opposite.
i would say that the main proprietary softwares i still use, are video games
Games have a very high barrier to entry though with many different parts, so that may be the reason?
StarCraft would not be so hard to make. But nobody did that, even though 0 AD exists to clone age of empires 2
It even works as a 2D game so no modeling experience necessary
