Not communicating that there are alternatives to their services?

I don’t really think it’s their responsibility to spoon feed alternatives to their customers; they’re not being anticompetitive, they’re not being deceptive, they’re not blocking alternatives.

I think your requirements here are unfair and kind of irrational

The value proposition is ease of use and integration of these theming utilities.

I honestly think this monetisation strategy of theirs is a non-issue.

People who want a streamlined experience have the option of paying for that, people who want the option of doing it all themselves have that opportunity too.

I don’t think that’s “taking advantage of vulnerable people”

The options still exist for people to learn and theming is incredibly inconsequential.

They’re monetising to support development in a minimally impactful way, that is completely optional, and I think that’s a good thing.

This would work well as a Janet Cactus meme
