They're free for now because the API they use is in beta... We don't know if it'll remain free.

Like most things in life theres no free cpu cycles. They all have a cost somehow

Free software can make money and be sustainable.

So someone is paying - theres allways a cost

Yes, exactly - The assumption that FOSS means that there is no financial support is practically archaic. I pay for any software that is useful to me, and many other people do too. There's donations, perks, exclusive content that subsidizes the core work, there are grants, etc.
