There’s a big misunderstanding here. The $5 would be to obtain a physical copy of the source code if the inquiry cannot be satisfied (for free!) online.

If anything, the opposite problem has caught a lot of folks off guard -- GPL and other copyleft used to require (require!) you to provide physical media in exchange for a check; an online link used to be insufficient to fulfill your source distribution requirements.
