Somehow, I'm still amazed. I shouldn't be, but I am. Somebody puts a ton of hard work into creating something of value - in this case, it's software. They take it from a thought to a prototype to a working solution - which the vast majority of us could never do. They go through hoops of fire to get the app approved on this-or-that appStore. They wrestle with cybersecurity, software patching, a usually painful SDLC, someone else's operating system, networking, messaging protocols, somebody's cloud hosting costs and another one hundred hassles to get a piece of interesting, useful piece of software into a user's hands. Then the user looks and says "it should be free." Well, that's just childish. Grow up and pay for your tools, pay for the labor of others, stop looking for a handout.
