There are always ways to support Devs in Foss software as well. Just ask , everyone has somewhere to receive donations. I for one A) want to know what I run on my devices. B) don't like to be spied on C) don't want to support the practice of doing so. And D) I have security and privacy standards. Even if you would trust a one dev closed source project , you are just one hack away from getting something nasty on the next update.
