I wouldn't frame it this way in a vacuum, but the organizing philosophy of open source is precisely to be a free lunch. Meta doesn't pay me when they use my projects, but they also don't charge me when I use React. Introducing mandatory monetary compensation would produce a lot of thorny coordination problems. The free software movement makes it work with in-kind code contributions, of course, but that's a cost most commercial users are unwilling to pay.
