Seems reasonable to me. Open Source is seen as virtuous and noble, but then big companies take that to mean they can leach off it while making huge profits.

It's very similar to the attitude to tax - companies avoid it aggressively, yet they use roads, benefit from schools, hospitals, rubbish collection, energy infrastructure and national security.

Maybe it's time for an ethos shift in the open source community. For example switching to licenses that stipulate if used commercially at certains scale, fees need to be paid.

What year is it?!
