Is there anything to the idea that, just like we don't need one universal RPG system to represent every kind of game, we also don't need one VTT?

Yeah, absolutely. Your open source considerations are one example. I�d also say that a complex battlemap game needs Roll20 or Foundry way more than something like a GUMSHOE game or Lady Blackbird. Roll20 is way too much overhead when I just want a way to store character sheets and flash cool visuals.

If you want a super simple low overhead and free VTT there's always MapTools https://www.rptools.net/toolbox/maptool/

This is seriously old-school, but it works. It, like Foundry, does not use an external host, the host is whoever is letting their machine act as the server,

I associate MapTools with wildly complex macro sets used for 4e Living Forgotten Realms games but I bet it�s perfectly good for just a map and tokens.
