Selling open source software is one of the valid ways open source reaches end users. Users/Consumers want to buy polished, maintained, and supported things. That costs resources to provide.
From a user perspective, having a preference for FOSS software shouldn't limit your options to unsupported abandonware you couldn't pay for if you wanted.
Recall the F in FOSS is Free as in Free Speech, not Free Beer.
