Agreed. I do a part time job and get paid for it. I also do volunteer
stuff. So I accept that some games might be ree and some will be paid.
People pay for card games, board games, etc. so why should we expect all
computer or phone games to be free?

Why does it matter what they do in the way of work? I would consider
it like having a second job that may or may not provide a large
monetary gain. If they create or modify games as a sideline, why
should they not ge paid?

The full-time developers need to be paid but the ones that make their
money doing other work and do part-time development are another story.
That's how linux got where it is today. The payment the linux developers
got and get is they often learn more about programming doing their linux
development than they manage to do in the careers where they make their
money. A loss for employers but our gain.
Aside from that, the linux developers get to work on the best supported
operating systems on the planet. Microsoft can't match that level of
support.
