PF2 is very similar to 5E. Sure, PF1 is too much, but 2 is basically 5e without the need to memorize a shit ton of exceptions because the rules weren't thought out when they were first written.

(also, as 5e is CC-BY now, it is not "own" by anyone (only the D&D brand is), wich is not the case with the ORC licence and Paizo)

If you buy an official book or pay a subscription, that money is going to WotC. That's what I mean by own, and that's what everyone means. Sure, you can create content for it legally still. That doesn't not mean they don't own the system.
