It is also kind of paid software? Source is available and you can compile it for free, but that takes some time and effort. And ready to use builds are not free.

Many distros have it compiled and ready for use.
Probably I'm confused and it's just Windows binaries that are paid?
No, all of their official binaries are paid. Since it's free software nothing stops distros from compiling them and redistributing, of course.
Thanks for the info!
The flatpak version doesn't work?
It's just that single Allen bolt that always goes AWOL in shipping.
I don't use flatpak, can't say anything, sorry.
