If payment changes hands, that's a contract. And I'm sure that everyone wants a contract that protects them from anything that might go wrong.

If they were willing to pay for things, they'd be in the Windows or Mac walled gardens. That's just the reality of the situation. Create a tool for everyone, and everyone will use it until they need to pay up.
