Because it’s not a choice of FOSS or not, it’s a in choice of quality of the app. Apps like Jerboa or Thunder are very far behind Sync and Boost. But if you enjoy those, then more power to you, and definitely no reason to switch.
I don’t know about that. I’m a sync user and some of the foss options are very good by now. I use sync because of familiarity and I like the dev so don’t mind dropping some money to support him.
Also a Sync user, for me the only option that came close to Sync and Boost for me was Summit, which people also did not like due to it being closed source.
Thunder is kinda close, as is Connect, but AFAIK Sync is still the only one to have any admin tools built into it (haven’t been able to try out Boost for Lemmy yet).

I was speaking more in the sense for general browsing. I’m not familiar with the admin tools for any of the apps.
Thanks. Yea I love liftoff, I got no issues.
Thunder is pretty great, occasionally janky but it just works
Not in my experience. Jerboa is close.
