Can someone explain to me why we should do engineering work to build features where the stated objective is to help corporations use our product without paying for it?

I can't say whether Zulip might be a fit for your needs. But you can always email our lovely sales/support team. https://zulip.com/help/self-hosted-billing#paid-plan-discoun... should give you a sense of our policies.

It's either your product first or an open source project first. If you care more about having a marketable product then it's fair for people who care about open source to go elsewhere.

I'm not sure what you mean by this. I am looking for a replacement for Discord for my small community of friends, and before today I had never heard of Zulip and knew nothing about its pricing or policies or history.
