I'm a newb to synthesizers in general. It appears to me that freeware/FOSS synths are giving paid synths a run for their money lately. What would you say the killer (paid) apps are? Are they killer enough to put up with the licensing BS? (Which I 100% agree with. Anything that mentions iLok might as well not exist to me.)

Before you commit to buying something: Vital (https://vital.audio/) and Surge (https://surge-synthesizer.github.io/) are both absolutely outstanding. Highly recommend you check them out!!

Already using the hell out of Vital - it's exactly why I am unsure that I should be paying for anything!

I'm a noob too, but yes, the FOSS options look pretty dope.
SuperCollider and Sonic Pi (which is built on top of it) are so powerful I can't even imagine there are commercial solutions that can beat them!
