Yeah but people don't want to pay for software so all open source is basically subsidized.

200 people out of how many hundreds of thousands of users? Are they giving an average $5 a month, for a grand total of $12000 a year? Maybe a little bit more?

If you look at it broadly nearly all software is subsidized by open source, so it's a smart choice to send some subsidies back to open source.

People will pay out of the nose for software if they find it useful enough.
