Not him, but if I were writing something that was going to be publicly released then I could imagine the team would:

a) Have to include a lot more documentation

b) Be a lot more paranoid about best practices, and writing generalizable code even if it doesn't fit their particular slice of the market

c) Never have the chance to use a closed source solution for part of the problem (e.g. no we can't have half our app actually be a series of Oracle specific stored procedures, or buy a UI package for $20,000 rather than use a heavily modified version of Bootstrap).
