That's what a commercial entity's marketing department wants you
to believe -- after all, they get paid for that.
As another encouraging datapoint, there's Senfcall [0], a not
for profit set up back then during pandemic to allow private
persons to set up video calls (they use BBB).
They got so flooded in donations that they aren't taking any
at the moment, and propose other organizations to send the
money to [1].
Free software is an interal part of a free society, and, as
the latter, takes a lot of small-scale work. It's nothing you
can "buy".

I agree with you 100% about free software. I've used Debian Gnu Linux
for the last 25+/- years on all my own computers and also on the
computers that I controlled at the university that employed me.
I've bookmarked Senfcall.de. It's good to know about.
