Distro hopping? Well I don't know if it was called distro hooping cause I even didn't stay a for more than 1 week in those distro ,(Antix 1 1/2 day , MX Linux XFCE and Fluxbox 1/2 day, Lubuntu hours, Mint LMDE hours, EndeavourOS and Arch aren't compatible with realtek so pass, Garuda wants more ram so pass) cause I usually judge by one look if it will be my like or not in anything, everything. Mint Cinnamon, if only my ram can afford its usage, I stay with it but well. So ended up with Zorin OS. Cause I believe I'm about to destroy my laptop because of changing OS often.

Most people don't donate. Zorin wouldn't introduce a Pro version and work on other paid offerings if individual donations were enough. They are a for-profit business, not a non-profit. People forget this.
People who don't like the idea of a paid Linux distro have the option of using the free Core version. This is not Windows, they have a choice.

I don't want to offend anyone with my comment, please know this. But this whole topic, discussion has been in my mind for a while. It comes down to a choice. You can pay, or not pay. It almost reminds me of a kid who on Christmas complains because Santa brought him a 50" flat screen TV for his bedroom when he wanted a 55". Or someone who says they can't afford the $39, or £39, but they went to McDonald's 15X the last 2 months due to convenience and ease instead of making their own meal.
If you don't want to pay, then use Core and be grateful...!!!
I also came across this article. Have read several articles by this Evangelho. He writes a bunch of Linux stuff, whether you agree with him or not. It comes down to, the Zorins' have the right to do it as they desire. And I choose to pay. It's that simple.

This is good. Setting out to offend is discouraged. However, the other side is just as true:
No one is granted the right to go through life unoffended.
