I already have pretty much what I need on SFOS and cannot really imagine what plusses would paid apps bring to the platform.

The few bits and pieces missing I can fill up myself pretty neatly.
Paid apps won't necessarily bring new users to the platform, but they may entice continued development.

Being a part of this community for a while, I'm sure you have noticed many apps no longer being supported by their developers. No one "has the time" to update for changing APIs, or the like when it is just something they did for fun. Which I do not blame them for.

I pay a lot of money to use Spotify. If CuteSpot stops working because the developer no longer has the time for free labor, I am still paying $10 bucks a month for the service that I won't have access to. If people are paying for CuteSpot, the developer would have a reason to keep development active.
