Why would a game need to be a business?

Because it takes time and quite some work to build one and there's nothing wrong wanting to live from it.

Sure, but nobody is forcing you to publish on F-Droid.

I'm not sure what you are arguing for or against. I think janosdebugs made it quite clear what they are trying to do.

You do realize that many apps on F-Droid are developed by businesses? OSMAnd, Fennec, Jitsi Meet, Element, Telegram being big examples. We also had the Simple family of apps for a while.
