I don't think this is very helpful when it comes to the issue in question.

Well the issue in question is complaining about something that they are not paying, so my solution is not to use the thing they are not paying for instead of complaining about it to the wind.

Pretty basic stuff.

Just in general why would you want to depend on something that you are not paying for? Isn't that a huge vulnerability vector? There's some very few exceptions where we do this like with the linux kernel, maybe you do it with the OS, but adding a third layer is just getting into npm levels of carelessness. It's one thing to slap on free (as in beer) dependencies for convenience sake at the application level, but dammit have some respect for the OS layer.
