It's a shame that people like us are sidelined as though we are stealing
something, yet would love to be able to provide a service that people
want, not what 'managers' think they want, and do it for fun and free.

Yes indeed. There are many examples of services, data, computer
programs etc. which are provided for a fee to commercial users and
which are free of charge for non-commercial use. I see nothing special
about weather data; it should be provided free of charge except to
commercial users.
