Not sure if this is ironic, but I know it's possible for apps to exist without being monetized. I'm using Paint.net right now.

Not ironic at all, and you want apps you use to be monetized because otherwise there's no incentive to support them. I feel like that's common sense.

To parody the Arthur quote [1]

Do you really think somebody would do that? Just go write apps for the love of programming and not to make money?

Yes it's possible for the apps to exist but not the apps programmers if they can't make money to eat
