I maintain or contribute to various FLOSS projects. The day FLOSS becomes profit-driven is the day I stop contributing.
Profit and user freedom are two different priorities. Sometimes they are compatible, more often they are not.

Apparently Go is good and C, C++, Java, Python, Perl, gcc, clang are all "fragile".

Hosting platforms love getting paid and tend to block extremist "clubs" like https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stormfront_(website)

Absolutely not.
You are implying that hating people based on something they cannot control (e.g. ethnicity) is normal.
