Paid mods suck for everyone, but free mods (especially giant frameworks like the one Luke Ross was working on) suck mostly for the people who make them. Not just because of the unpaid labor, but also because the worst kind of people (entitled freeloaders) end up harassing them.

It's a normal thing in other kinds of software like video editing and audio software as well. Sometimes entire companies spring up to create custom plugins for things like After Effects or one of the many DAW softwares. Then they sell them and sometimes even license them out. Maybe it just hasn't caught on in gaming yet?
