If someone promises you something for free, you are not entitled to it. I'm not going to speculate on what a court would do, but what you've written here is 100% wrong. There are obviously benefits to having more people use your product. That's why they did it. When I was in college, there was a volunteer activity (I don't remember the specifics). If you wanted to volunteer, you had to sign an agreement to show up, and you had to explain what you were getting in return, like extra credit for a class. If you didn't do that, they'd turn you down. That seems awfully strange, so why did they have that requirement? Because no-shows led to a bunch of waste, and they'd had problems with no-shows in the past. The volunteer agreement established consideration for both parties. "Free forever" plans are not charity. There are massive benefits for both parties.
