Polly's open source maintenance fee, why is it controversial?

Carl Franklin tweeted about Polly adopting the Open Source Maintenance Fee (OSFM) and people do not generally seem very happy about it. From what I understand it's only a monthly 20 USD fee for companies that make more than 20,000 USD in revenue using at least one product or project that uses Polly.

Given the other, more dramatic monetization decisions we've seen in the past (Moq, MediatR, MassTransit), this maintenance fee seems like a pretty reasonable way to fund a project that's not otherwise backed by big sponsors or companies, no?
