The employment mis-match in software

Why is so much great software free yet corporations are paying high dollar for software developers? That problem is a killer because transaction costs for hiring and firing are much higher than software purchases directly.

That should not be.  The corporate manager should be able to go on git hub and buy proprietary add-ons to the free software.  Stuff in which he takes part in adapting to new technology, he can invest.

The end user, it is about the right to pay for better stuff.  The right to pay someone $50 and I am insured I get  the working python tool, landed right here in my personal directory.  The alternative is me spending $150 in time learning to do a one shot, barely supported installation from a fragmented industry.

A, easy to fix, but software engineers first have to develop one last piece of free stuff, a simple, peer to peer,  secure exchange protocol for our personal payrnent devices.  Then, you, the software engineer, have made your day. You have made is as easy as possible to collect secure digits by writing software
