I agree with you, except maybe the free "pint of beer" isn't the analogy we need here.
Let's Change The Analogy 
I think OSS may be more like giving away a FREE Trojan Horse (that you expect to be nice) and then when the Trojan Horse ends up being nasty, then we all complain. 
And, I absolutely agree with you that exfiltrating data is evil.
I don't want that from software on my computer either.
But, what about Windows? They seem to be gathering tons of user data all the time because Win10 / 11 is basically free.
All the other companies too. But they're BigCorps so we (have to ) overlook it.
Also, I run Ubuntu 22.04.2 LTS desktop.
Of course my laptop has Windows 10 on it too so...

I don't think the outrage is off-kilter in the slightest. They were not told data would be collected from them so they are under no obligation what so ever to tolerate that nonsense. If the author wanted compensation then they should not have provided the software for free. Since they DID provide it for free that does NOT entitle them to collect any data from their users or to do anything else without their prior consent. 99.9% of those users did not expect there to be strings attached and I can not believe you consider that to be acceptable.

Generative AI will probably not replace most current workers, with its impact instead confined to automating some tasks for a minority, according to a report released on Monday by the International Labour Organization (ILO), the United Nations agency that develops standards for the world of work. Because who would know better than the UN?

Instead of fearing being replaced by AI, these professionals have a more positive outlook. The other third have already been replaced by AI

The relational model and SQL have been foundational database technologies for the last 40+ years. Meanwhile, modern applications look very different from that of 40 years ago when SQL was invented. "You come at the king, you best not miss."

If you start with 22 people and plan on 28 years I guarantee you won't have 22 people at the end. You'll either have a very small number of survivors (including zero), or you'll have a generation of human Martians. Who knows, maybe one of them will be named Michael Valentine Smith.

I can't keep myself for pondering who should be awarded one of those 22 seats. I can think of a few.
