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.
