Overall yes, but on GNU/Linux, most users are still some kind of a developer.

I don't have numbers, but JetBrains did say that most users of their products use the paid version and that their Linux business is a healthy one. I am on Linux and subscribe to all their products and have colleagues and friends that do too, so we do exist.

I also paid for Githost.io when I was using GitLab.
