Crunch of capitalism. Anything that provides value can be turned into something that generates money. Not many people will walk away from money out of the goodness of their heart.

I don't have much of a problem with that. Heck, looks like Bruno has multiple tiers that they sell the product for, and it looks like a very reasonable way to make money.
The problem is this idea of "infinite growth" that modern markets demand, which results in the eventual enshittification of nearly all tech products these days. Postman could have had a very nice, reasonable business, but once they took an obscene amount of funding (nearly half a BILLION dollars, for an API client tool!!!) their fate was sealed. Beyond taking too much money, Postman clearly thought they had a much bigger moat than they actually do.
