Cryptocurrencies are a way to get funding for web3 infrastructure in a decentralized way. Sadly, it's not the only way cryptocurrencies can be used.

I think, IPFS and Radicle did good here by not making these type of payments mandatory.

They said: if you don't want to run all that stuff yourself, pay someone to host your node. If you want that someone to host nodes in a decentralized matter, you can pay them with crypto.
