Yes, but not right now.

It’s more important to develop a version of Linux to replace all Apple, Google, and Microsoft operating systems spying on us, and then one good social medium to replace all USAn/Chinese social media manipulating us, including dating sites sabotaging our birth rates, and job sites misdirecting our productivity to short-sighted economic fads.

For Linux, there are plenty already.

One good social medium is a big point of failure. It enables a lot of power concentration.

The fediverse alongside with media literacy among all, is what we need instead.

Proper government funded tooling for office work and scientific research would be great.

I can not imagine an alternative to the office suite would need much more investment than the European Union spends each year in licensing it.

Licensing of scientific software easily goes up to 100k/year per user.
