They have to survive to do that and it is difficult to survive without money, in some form or another. Even volunteer effort is paid for by a "day job" and so indirectly by an employeer.

Hmm, Debian seems to have survived without this kind of nonsense, and survived quite nicely.

Are you saying all the Debian developers are unemployed? Or are you misunderstanding the previous comment.
Okay, I'm unemployed :-( but people can't work for nothing at all. They'd starve. And I strongly suspect that, even if the Debian developers aren't paid to write for Debian (and many probably are), they ARE paid to develop software.
Cheers,

There's a difference between being paid by a sustainable business model that respects the customer and one that monetizes every click and key-press, however.
