I think investing into integrating a tool into your infrastructure is not exactly "paying $0".

From the standpoint of the people paying the developers of said software, it is exactly like paying $0.

No, it's not. If they're planning a rug pull, they very much care that you took effort to integrate their free offering into your infrastructure, because they care that you're sitting firmly on the rug before they can pull it.

If you make software and I start using it, I’ve created an obligation for you to keep making it?
