That's the non-profit, free software world. It exists, gnu.org compiles a lot of free software if you're interested, or there's other organizations that compile stuff like free blueprints for farm equipment, free music, sprites, etc.
It's out there, but a lot of people generally consider the free/libre stuff "lower quality," which is often a fair accusation.
