Most people who make FOSS full time that people interact with (Linux, Python, Git, Node.js etc) work at large tech companies where their work is being subsidized.

Solo devs don't have that luxury, their income is directly tied to their product. They don't have the same privileges.

It baffles me how much people get shit twisted again and again.
