    OpenSource isn’t neccesary free to use, less if have some inherent costs. F.Exmpl. ProtonVPN and ProtonMail are OpenSource, but only with limited free versions (freemium), because server cost money. Same with other OSS. Also is legit, if the dev like to buy food sometimes and pay his bills, OpenSource not means that it’s only made because the love to do so. There are a lot of OSS freemium and also paid out there.
