LibreOffice is not going all out and charging for every binary. Per sources (here's one: https://www.theregister.com/2022/09/20/l...acos_fees/ ) What they're actually doing is starting to charge for LibreOffice only when acquired through the macOS App Store. Previously, this was a free download, but it's hard to fault the decision to charge for the binaries specifically through the macOS App Store considering that it has the highest cost of entry of all other app markets. They aren't the only open source for macOS to make this decision, either. I use a few apps on my Macs, and happily pay the $5-10 to support the developers and have the ease of automated updates to the apps.
I'm sorry, but I think your concerns are wildly overblown and not fully educated on the matter(s) of which they focus on.
