I think it's criminal that Blender isn't even mentioned there.
i mean, i can't think of a proprietary application that does everything that blender does, so there's no need to list blender as an 'alternative' i guess.
i'm not particularly familiar with the 3d modeling space, i've only done basic stuff. feel free to correct me
@conno02 hot take: people saying GIMP is the Alternative to Photoshop without saying its UX it's the most unusable ever. Even Krita or Affinity Photo/Designer have better user interfaces than GIMP.
I find GIMP so difficult to use, but I can't justify the expense of Photoshop for hobbyist use so I'm keeping at it. I wish there was something that at least had a similar UI. So many easy tasks in PS are crazy complicated in GIMP.

@stardom8048 i have tried Affinitity programs (one time fee to buy forever) and I have used them everyday.
