Agreed, especially considering PDF utils are in the weird money extracting island inside the sea of free software. A bit like email to fax services. Or PC cleaners. Want to edit a PDF for free? That is going to be a very unpleasant experience. Counterexample is drawing programs 2D and 3D. Lots of excellent free open source software from Inkscape to Blender to Photopea.
