This doesn't exactly answer the question, but as someone who's done web stuff for years and who is an extreme fan of the GPL, nevertheless I end up using stuff like Divi and Elementor under Wordpress.
This, to me, is where the "paying for software that isn't free in either sense" has finally reached a fair equilibrium? Which is to say, thanks to the free-ness of the underlying platform -- it seems absolutely equitable to be like, "dig in and use the free but more difficult stuff that's out there, or just drop some money on this pay stuff (which you're also still generally free to hack with.)
I don't think very much software under "you can't have it unless you pay for it" is very good, but this is an exception.
