I completely agree in principle. But the reality is that the overwhelming majority (like 98% of them) don’t do that, and they just expect to keep using things for free, until whoever is backing the thing gets broke and/or burned out.

The things is, there’s plenty of people who are willing to open their wallet for their services, they just prefer paying corporations, instead of donating to FOSS.
