Why is this paid, such simple programs should be free and open-source (in my opinion)

I'm already developing a much more complex application called LigidPainter (the equivalent of Adobe's substance lineup). And it's free & open-source too https://github.com/mert-tetik/LigidPainter. Though I'm really short on money rn. So I came up with this project to compensate my financial problems so I can keep working on LigidPainter by myself. Besides this application provides everything EpicPen provides in its premium version. Even tho EpicPen is free it costs more than this application to use it's every feature.  I didn't even mention the GUI customization features.

And I can assure you this application is NOT simple. Such shitty games prepd by free to use assets are being sold at 1 dollars. I took a lot of time for each animation this application has (nearly 30 unique animations and more will come). I took a LOT of time to catch the aesthetic. I took even lot more time to program this app from scratch. I didn't use any GUI libraries. I didn't even use window handle libraries like GLFW. This program has nearly 10 thousand lines of code!  Long story short if games with 100 lines of scripts in total written by the dev can be sold to 1 dollars and my app can't then why do I bother developing this application? I could've develop 10 unique horror games with the time I spent developing FloralPen & LigidPainter and no one would complain. I could've earn a lot of money too. But then I would be just one of the grains of sand in the desert.

Sorry, I did not know it was complex, I didn't buy it to see
