If it's free, then why are we paying for it?

I see what you did there... but freedom costs $1.05.

Freedom isn't free as in beer?

I can hear ypu americanness from behind the screen darling.

Free means freedom not "no payments" it takes huge money to develop and maintain software and infrastructures like these. So they need funding to survive.
