A friend of mine in the industry who is now switching from Maya to Blender for concept art once said: "yeah, Blender is free... if you don't count the $200 in add-ons you need to buy to get anything done."

I wonder what percentage of Blender enthusiasts DON'T have Boxcutter and HardOps installed at a minimum.

You can purchase up to ~1500 USD a year on plugins/models/textures with Blender and it'll still be cheaper than a yearly subscription to Maya. It's not hard to understand why Blender is currently picking up a lot of momentum.
