Asking for donations is, again, different than extortion. There's a stark difference between a splash screen asking for funding to continue providing a free service and forcing ads and tracking in exchange for cash to operate on said FOSS platform.

Who said anything about extortion? We're talking about the service being free, just because you're not the one paying for it doesn't make it free.
