If it's useful to you then why should it be free? I paid for Cleanshot, I use it all the time. If you only want to use it once then sure free, but hen you wouldn't worry much about how good it was to use.

Because on Windows it is? It's a deterioration in the user experience when you move from a platform that has all the bells and whistles to one where each bell is a paid-for subscription that you have to buy.

That someone has made it free on one platform, for whatever reason, it doesn't extends that someone should do that work for free on another.
The screenshot tools built in to macos are fairly decent, so you don't need to pay extra to get screenshots and screen recordings.
