The problem I have with non-free software isn't that it's free, but that the community and support are much, much worse than OSS alternatives. Back in the site-backed-by-CMS days, I was always on the lookout for something better than Wordpress. Every time I thought I landed on a good alternative, I'd start to hunt down some esoteric needs that just didn't exist, and discussions with the staff who ran said solutions were usually fruitless. Meanwhile, the answer to literally any problem with Wordpress was just sitting there on Stack Overflow. Today I've moved on to JAMstack, and while everything is massively superior from both a consumer and developer perspective, the headless CMS offerings — which seem like a natural fit for the OSS world — are mostly proprietary and very, very expensive. It feels just like trying Wordpress alternatives, where the support is uncommunicative and the community is nonexistent. My clients can afford to pay for a good headless CMS, but I'm seriously considering using Wordpress API for "headless" because the paid options are a pain in the ass.
