Right, all of which is indirectly competing. OpenSats has an organic advantage over these options by way of organized distribution.
I think that advantage is something to be celebrated. We rely on many centralized aspects to keep the Nostr thriving.
I am not sure what level of transparency should be demanded of OpenSats. I would perhaps argue claims of transparency, being that is an alleged goal of their own, but I am not here to speak negatively of them, or be too critical.
What I would like to see from OS specifically, is more attention given to rejected applications. I have seen people approved and denied in my time here, and I think there could be more follow-up with projects that weren't accepted.
Where is the spotlight for those who didn't quite make it, yet? How can OpenSats encourage them to keep trying? I think the lack of options keeps people from applying more than anything. The alternative options are a lot more work than applying to OS, but they have varying success rates with direct fulfillment, whereas OpenSats just says "sorry, you weren't selected." I think that can be demoralizing for many, and it should be addressed.
