This sounds suspiciously like the "you should work for the exposure" argument given in the arts industry. Landlords don't accept expore for rent and grocers don't accept exposure for food. It's just a misunderstanding of how things work rooted in greed and entitlement.
A worker's time is worth their wage. If you're paying nothing, nothing is owed. If you pay nothing for a creation, the creator owes you nothing. That's the contact.

And property and grocery goods aren't even the same category as IP - You can't consume the same cabbage repeatedly. > That's the contact. I think you mean contract, but you are ignoring the social contract here. A "worker" isn't going around advocating their own project(s).
