    I feel like I had a unique experience working at a place where we paid for it. but I expect that is more legal reasons and the dev not wanting to rejig the software to use a business free alternative.

      Considering how much money a salary is, it’s easy to see how 30/40€ of license (or whatever that is) is a negiglible sum to save on potentially enormous legal troubles.

      Also, depending how big the company is, automatic installation and deployment systems might be in place, and changing that also has a cost.
