Under Stallmans model the developer works for free, and I guess they need a second job to pay the rent. Ah but GPL doesn’t mean free as in beer? Oh yes for practical purposes it does mean exactly that. Outlier business models excepted of course!

Actually no. Under Stallman's model it is perfectly okay to demand and earn payment for your work, but results still would be free, quote, as in "free speech", not "free beer", unquote. Did you see bounty offers in open source repos' issues?
