So, letting people try it out it for two weeks prevented them from buying it? That doesn't reflect well on customer satisfaction.

It's much more about aligning the freemium window with the urgency horizon.
A two-week trial won't convert a user that's solved their issue within that window.
OBS can replicate the audio routing (though not as smoothly) though I'm not too familiar with its audio processing capabilities. I mostly see OBS and Audio Hijack as complementary products.
That said, Audio Hijack is so good for routing and processing audio that it's not even a competition, AH all day.
I've done so much mischief and tinkering with AH just because it's so easy. You can reroute audio between applications, fiddle with L/R channels and filtering, and pipe it through to others, all on the fly. I've used it for everything from being a DJ in zoom calls, to setting up presentation audio, to setting up a virtual sound board that repeated audio snippets I collected in real time from the conversation, to connecting a facetime audio call from one teammate into a zoom meeting.
There's so much flexibility and setting up the workflows is a breeze. AH hurdles the bar IMO.
