Font forge is open source, which is a tool more comparable to those than a completed font is. You're not entitled the results of the work of other specialists, even if you've become accustomed to that in other areas. And again, do you give away your completed work? Does no one pay you for the expertise you use for them? A font is much more similar to a completed web app than it is to the tools used to create that app. You don't expect someone to make an app for you for free, even if there are apps available for your use for free. Same thing here. Typographers aren't getting rich lmao. They're trying to pay the rent with their skills same as everyone.
