Seems like open source is the way to defeat this. Anyone can easily create a competing service, which they then have to buy out, but the cost of setting up a new one is minimal. Interesting business model that feeds on anti-competitive businesses.

Interestingly, Overleaf is open source [0], although I can't speak to how well the open source version works.

IIRC, it is nerfed out. It is more open core than actual open source, and the paywalled features of the online version are missing.
