Everyone wants everything to be free
Market dynamics are complex and the wants of the uncoordinated many are usually override by the wants of the coordinated few. For instance, Microsoft wanted core competencies of the competition to be free. So it developed Internet Explorer and bundled with every Windows system. The wants of the people weren't relevant.
You get what you pay for, therefore it is shit.
This implies a correlation between money and quality, which not always holds.
Some things are free and aren't shit. For example: Linux
Some things are made shit when they aren't free. For example: many scientific papers .
Things that require effort usually require an incentive. Money, specially paying for use, isn't the silver bullet of incentives.
