The argument is that if you choose to work in certain ares you have to accept different models of how to get paid. And in an area where we have non-scarcity in the way you have here you have to have models like donations or that you get paid for writing the next book beforehand. There are a lot off possible models that could work. I find it very strange that so many people assume that things must work as they do today.
