Not sure what are you complaining about.
If you are single developer or small enough entity who can not afford, you have Visual Studio Community for FREE.
However, if you are making good money developing software then you spend some of it in tooling. Why should your company make the profit but not MS who invests heavily in their platforms, tooling and entire eco system so you can build and run your applications and services (which makes you money in the first place).
I have not seen any more generous company than MS.
Have you?
