It just comes across hypocritical. He demands everyone else be open, hardware vendors, video hosts, yet himself wants to be closed.
AFAIK, Grayjay is not a closed source app, the source is on github, but he chose a license that restricts monetization and redistribution due to having concerns of people taking FOSS apps and repackaging them on app stores with added monetization or malware.
Not ideal, but not closed either.
