Entitlement like building a business on top of free open source tech, relying on free open source to build and support your userbase, then using your cheapest line item as a cudgel to coerce subscriptions?

They are limiting your downloads from dockerhub, which is not funded or hosted by volunteers.

True, but the primary cost of docker hub is producing the images, and that is done by volunteers and employees of other companies.

What exactly do you think is hosted on dockerhub, making it useful?

They don't charge you for hosting, uploading or downloading images.

Without dockerhub you would have to host your own repository, which would cost money.

No, the subject of this post is that they are now charging for downloading images.
