Turns out living the FOSS dream is kind of hard.

Tbh the same struggle affect proprietary software.

It is more about individual developpers/small teams versus large companies.

You have financial gain to show when proprietary software ends. When FOSS ends, you just have the experience. That’s fine for some, know what you’re getting into.

The license doesn't have anything to do with the financial gain. There are plenty of proprietary freeware and OSS devs who sell their apps on the playstore.

Indeed, but it more acute when people don't give anything back, and hobbies don't last forever.

Why? The app can still be built / installed / source forked etc.

That is the FOSS dream.

it's not FOSS or not. Basically, who owns it or who pays for it. People have interest and people need earnings to live. Business is business.
