It’s clear that the Nabu Casa Inc. people, who also happen to be the Home Assistant project leaders, are focussed on making money over making well engineered software.
For example, Home Assistant’s settings page includes an entry for Nabu Casa Inc.'s cloud services product as the first entry in the list and there’s no option to switch it off.
Home Assistant is engineered in such a way as to make it difficult to install on operating systems that aren’t under control of Nabu Casa Inc., like Home Assistant OS or Home Assistant Container. If Home Assistant were engineered well, it would be simple to take individual Home Assistant packages and build and install them on any distribution, as has been customary in the free software community for decades. As far as I know, there’s no reason Home Assistant must be an operating system rather than simply individual packages.

Bands also makes merch to increase their income, should we hate on them as well?
If a band makes selling merch their purpose, over and above making decent music, then I would likewise scorn them.

It’s clear that Paulus created a free home automation product and developed it for 5 years. For free.
In 2018 they started a fund raising system which also helped provide secure remote access for those that don’t know how to do it themselves.
I’d say they are focussed on making well engineered software over making money.
Why so negative? Bands also makes merch to increase their income, should we hate on them as well?
Oh, look at that: the Linux Foundation also sells merch https://linuxfoundation.store/ - maybe you should stop using Linux?
Microsoft also has merch; so does Android.
I can’t find any merch store for Apple, so I guess your an Apple fanboy.
Do any sell key caps to replace the windows key on keyboards?
