Paying a contribution will not give me the feature I want or need from a project, most project explicitly say so. Paying for a LLM to create a PR or a fork that will contain that feature is often a lot easier and a pretty good guarantee I will get it.
I am not diving into the code quality or maintainability of such PR/forks which is a whole thing in itself.
I’m going to play devil’s advocate here.
