The only reason competition is good in the sake of capitalism is because people are motivated to make money. When people want to make more money, in theory they will deliver a better product/service to gain more market share.
When people are working on open-source or community projects for the benefit of society/larger group of people, it's better that they work together on a unified approach, otherwise a large part of their resources and man-hours of work are simply spent on duplicating what already exists.
