    Torrenting has existed for a long time, yet people still buy software. There is a lot more to software distribution than traditional product sale.

    You want to have frequent fixes, compatibility with modern tools, new features and a trustworthy distribution pipeline. These are all things people and corps are willing to pay for in FOSS software.
