Well, nothing is free. If you aren't paying with money, you are paying with data or time, which may or may not be more valuable to you than money.
Even paying for apps and services does not stop the collecting and selling of your data.
I know, but not paying to begin with created the incentive to have such an infrastructure to spy on people, even if these people decide to pay. And I am not saying it's users' fault.
False. Friendship, family, sunshine, peace, etc. Free for now at least.
You've listed some kinda vague concepts, family and friendship may be free, but their help and attention costs money and time. As for sunshine, that costs energy, atoms are fused into other atoms to produce the light, so while we aren't paying it, it is getting "spent". Peace is furthest away from free, just look at how much the wars to restore peace cost
