I think maybe people are starting to get how exploitive Open Source can be, though? Like back when Linux happened, and all of the Shareware of the era, there was an acknowledgement that computing was fun and we could do better.
Now we know that if we do better it's gonna get stolen without folks contributing back, and that supporting actual users, who don't code, is real freakin' work. That should be compensated.
