I think we all know the truth. The Revealed Preference is that people get reporting for free. The rest is rationalization. I don't think they ever intend to actually pay as much as they feel they do. Faced with the option to do so, they never do. "I would do X" has a massive list of caveats, most of which are non-intersecting with anyone elses. Don't try to run a business based on this. Flattr and Blendle tried this and are having a hard time. It's just "don't believe people will buy your product till you have the money".
