For a long time many third party components were commercial. A lot more than in the Ruby, Python or Java ecosystems, for example.

Things are slowly moving towards Open Source and cross platform, but .NET is far behind Java at this moment. It is moving fast, though.

I've been doing .NET development since 2006 and have never had to buy commercial components. Every time I have needed something there has been free/open source stuff. I'm guessing it depends on what type of software you are working on?
