Probably! From the About OpenLoco page:
The OpenLoco project started in early 2018 by the same group of people behind OpenRCT2.
I don’t have a source, but it wasn’t that Netflix didn’t lose subscribers, it was that their revenues grew. Part of that was charging subscribers more, but a lot of that was the new ad-supported plans netted them more money than basic ad-free plans. Which is probably why they’re now sunsetting the basic ad-free plans.
