I don’t understand “who supports it use products of capitalism”; does the someone want to imply that every product is made with capitalism? What is opensource then, when money isn’t the driving force of open source development?
Even if you use open source software exclusively, the hardware you run it on was still manufactured under capitalism, the hardware it was built on was manufactured under capitalism, the electricity you’re powering your hardware with was provided by capitalism, and the very economic system that allowed the devs to build and maintain the software… was capitalism.
None of this is in capitalism’s favour. That there’s no getting away from it is, for Marxists, a key argument against it.
