It’s almost like the majority of developers write code to make money.


But now you successfully filtered most of the people that don't. And there is tons of quality software without a business incentive aside from the fun to create said software.

Of course free software cannot be the only model, but as I said, you won't find much of that in app stores.


they sure do. kinda sad that they mostly use functionality from the foss ecosystem created by the minority that doesn't.
