This is laughable. Like, yes, free software is better and open source is a capitalist spin.
But these problems still impact free software. AWS can still exploit the labor of free software engineers and profit while not giving those devs any support.

I do a little - a couple Docker images (mostly someone else's software), a couple utilities, a font, small contributions to projects for solving problems I experienced. I don't expect compensation for any of that - it's a hobby. I have a day job and I use some of that software in it, and, at least until we arrive at a post-scarcity economy, that's what will pay my bills.
You might expect that any arbitrary person might not compensate you, but still expect compensation.
Giving away your work doesn't mean you don't value your labor.
