That is the dumbest take I've heard in a long time. You can't possibly be serious. Tell me you're not serious.
You do know people do get paid to do open-source/libre work too, right? It's not all volunteer work. And for the part that is it'd be like saying volunteering hours at the soup kitchen is the same as slave labour. No one is forcing anyone at gun point.
