Free software can make money and be sustainable.

So someone is paying - theres allways a cost

Yes, exactly - The assumption that FOSS means that there is no financial support is practically archaic. I pay for any software that is useful to me, and many other people do too. There's donations, perks, exclusive content that subsidizes the core work, there are grants, etc.
