If I'm willing to part with $5 for email (which some days could be thought of as not helping my life), I might as well do it for another application / ecosystem I use everyday that does help me in many ways. I think the reason I didn't see contributing money to be as big of an issue, is that the work is 1) open sourced, which is almost as if I can have some part of ownership in it (don't take this too literally) and 2) I pay $5 for a vps to keep my personal website / email up.
