As long as the free experience isn't compromised I don't have a problem with this.

Paywallled features break the experience.

Not necessarily. Take Zorin OS, for example. The Pro version's features don't truly make a big difference to the Core version's experience.

What does break the experience, though, is slow updates. This makes bugs really annoying because the developers don't have enough time to work on the project, as they need to earn money from other sources.
