so you're saying people should give Purism - a for-profit company - money, because they did the bare minimum of hiring open source devs and letting them keep their work in the open?

I can't tell you where your purism subscription will go, but anyone can tell you exactly where you money goes if you donate to a project like postmarketOS directly instead... And to be frank, I'd argue that you get much better bang for your buck when it comes to progressing the Mobile Linux ecosystem.
