The value proposition is ease of use and integration of these theming utilities.
I honestly think this monetisation strategy of theirs is a non-issue.
People who want a streamlined experience have the option of paying for that, people who want the option of doing it all themselves have that opportunity too.
Not communicating that there are alternatives to their services?
I don’t really think it’s their responsibility to spoon feed alternatives to their customers; they’re not being anticompetitive, they’re not being deceptive, they’re not blocking alternatives.
I think your requirements here are unfair and kind of irrational
Okay, I guess I simply disagree that it’s their responsibility to tell other people there are alternatives to their service and I don’t think any other software vendor is beholden to such a requirement either.

That the stuff included is free and installable on it’s own.
So what’s your issue then? Zorin has a free version that people can opt for if they want
That they aren’t communicating it.
Why do you believe they need to?
Because I believe not doing so is exploiting people that don’t know better.
If it wasn’t then there wouldn’t be a problem with being upfront about it.
