Not going to downvote you, but if you are downvoted it's probably because this isn't true. Take the video game market as an example; people are very much willing to pay for video games on Linux (via Humble Bundle, Itch, Steam, or GoG) even when the games are usually DRM-free and could trivially be pirated. If there's not much of a market in other areas, then frankly I'd have to say it's because the open source ecosystem is simply too good on Linux. There's already an app that can do what you want for 99% of use cases, and it's open source and free. Hard to compete with that. You wouldn't criticize Windows because someone can't find anyone to buy their web browser; Linux is like that, just for most every application.
