So all users of OSS are also developers?
I said:

"Users of OSS are just as dependent on developers as users of 'proprietary' software"

And you replied:

"No they're not AT ALL. A lot of users are..developers themselves!"

A lot, perhaps, but all? What about the ones who are NOT developers? And, if OSS continues to grow and become mainstream, I would hazard to guess that eventually a majority of OSS users will not be developers. What about them? Are you saying that, in the future, when OSS has become the norm, ALL users will also be developers?
