I've enjoyed reading your input to this thread. It's interesting that you're taking this stance, as clearly, I wouldn't expect it on this site. Most of these guys are developers; and more than likely don't have days of war nights of love on their bedstand.
Your opinion is valid. Of course getting things for free is great. But, you are not only speaking to most of the hand that feeds you here, but are also forgetting that a majority of the world operates on a cost-benefit... a majority of people are mostly motivated by money to spend their time doing things. And this is what the dude earlier was trying to say... developers (who are motivated by money) will not develop for a device they can't make money off of. Developing is their dumpster diving, just without the dumpster. It's simply an alternate (and arguably easier [un/fortunately]) way of being.
I have a day job and contribute to open source projects in ways that I can. I hope all developers do this, like I hope lawyers do as much pro bono work as they can; but I realize neither is the case.
I'm off to play my dreamcast.
