Yes, but to be fair it's awfully hard to find a free app that does the same without bloat due to any kind of ads. I'm going to buy this app just because of frustration due to that.

There are several such apps on f-droid.

F-droid often has nice apps, but too often, they are just not good enough for what I want or need[1]. In that case, I'll gladly pay on the play-store because the paid version is nearly always (but certainly not guaranteed to) have less or no trackers ads, and malware included. The free apps far too often do.
I use https://exodus-privacy.eu.org/ to check for trackers, ads and "malware".
[1] Far too often, the apps there are "OK, but...", clearly the work of a someone building a quick "works for me" or someone learning how to build apps. For some tasks, "just OK" is good enough. More often it just isn't.

Sometimes,
But a similar "utility" (shameless promotion here) I've made a free open source metronome. No ads and cross-platform.
So if someone like me had incentive for free metronome. I'm pretty sure there are also tuners out there.
Still, 1$ to support an app is really legitimate and sometimes gives more incentives for the developer to maintain it or add features.
