However keep in mind that paying for software from commercial vendors

If only that were true. Most of those money-grabbing businesses are too
willing to take and not give back.
Then we have those users who complain about Free software not being as
good as the proprietary stuff. If they would divert some of the money they
give to the proprietary vendors and give it to the Free software
developers, think how much better those products could be.
Why don't you apply that argument to car manufacturers? They make a number of variations of the same car.
I have always been grateful for free software.
It's backward thinking & greedy to expect the best of everything for free just because it's available.
