> Programmers do not like to pay for their tooling.

Maybe not for their personal/hobby projects, but they wouldn't be the ones paying for tools at work.

So it's the companies not willing to pay for dev tools or understand the value they can provide

Companies are made up of people. The only people who might understand the value that they can provide are the programmers, but the programmers are not familiar with the tools because they don't want to pay for them in their personal/hobby projects.
One would hope they would provide some kind of "community" version which I believe is pretty much a must these days to gain any traction
