Not everything has to have a business model. Some people write code because they want to, and then give it away for free. If you plant a seed in the earth, it will give you food for free, too.

Also, we’re starting to reach the point where money is an ineffective incentive.

I am sure there are a handful of rent seeking startups trying to figure out how to make sure you pay a subscription for planting that seed also.
