It’s just a fact to consider in tradeoffs. There are several economic models that support tool businesses, or returns for investors. Please don’t take offense at noting which of those several valid approaches

Not offended. Our team has a long history in open source and have seen both the triumphs and challenges over the years. It's very difficult to build a sustainable client-side open source tool without some other business off to the side that supports it (example: nextjs/vercel).

I like the simplicity and clarity of just directly charging for the valuable thing. Nothing wrong with the other models, they just aren't for us.
