The notion that all software must be provided free of charge and that making any profit is a cardinal sin.

No, it's just that growth necessary to satisfy VC investment is unobtainable so solid products eat themselves attempting to achieve that growth.

Or it could be that the probability of having to do anti user things to earn an ROI for a $100M investment into a password manager is too high.

$100M to develop a new processor or phone or vaccine or search engine or social network that delivers video to everyone worldwide is different than $100M to a password manager or other “simpler” project.
