It is no complain, merely stating an elementary economic fact. If the

competition. No competition, no quality.

 Elementary economic fact: in a competitive market, the unit price of the
product tends to converge towards the marginal cost of producing that
product.
 What’s the marginal cost of producing a copy of a piece of software?
Essentially, zero.

No different from books, music records, reproductions. In these cases the unit is more than just a copy. This is how concepts of intellectual property get invented etc.
Again, I do not say what is right and what is wrong. Just stating facts.
