Why is free as beer questionable? Do you expect to monetize the free beer that someone gives you?

Yes ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Also the free but not really has already a name, called shareware. I think it's just their marketing ability that they managed to be called free software, despite the definition of the word. (But GPL is not really about the price of the software, they aim to be free as freedom, but .. they are not.)
