Implementing pdf.js is a lot of work. $199 for a decent implementation would be a steal.

Agreed, especially considering PDF utils are in the weird money extracting island inside the sea of free software.

A bit like email to fax services. Or PC cleaners. Want to edit a PDF for free? That is going to be a very unpleasant experience.

Counterexample is drawing programs 2D and 3D. Lots of excellent free open source software from Inkscape to Blender to Photopea.

Photopea isn't open source though.
