You are ignoring non-profits and countries foreign to you.

No I’m not because Adobe has pricing structures for non-profits and other markets.

In the context of this discussion, the question was why companies aren’t funding GIMP development, and the ones that can’t afford a $20/mo aren’t the ones who would be funding development anyway.

Yes, of course there’s a market for free stuff. But the price of admission into the existing paid for products is low enough that there’s little motivation to fund it.
