As a developer, that's not what I expect.  I expect the non-free
alternative to be installed instead of the free alternative if it's a
better match to the other software that the user has installed on their
system, *provided* that the user has intentionally chosen to enable the
non-free archives on their system, indicating they're okay with that
behavior.
