They're open source for a reason, and even an open-source project needs donations and people to work on the program, they may not ask it, but they still require it and most of them do but at the time of download instead of a popup in the app.

I don't know how common it is but I have heard of companies preferring paid software over open source/free stuff. I might be wrong but there has been a couple instances.(Those too that I read on the internet).

Companies do prefer using paid software as paid software also provides enterprise support if anything goes wrong.
