I think the two above statements can be contradictory.

Depends if you're the original author behind the pine indicator

1. Conversions from tradingview has been around for several years while very few of them have been converted and is available for free download. This tells me something: Most people who believe this should be for free would not bother to convert even one indicator for free in freelance section.

2. In most cases the authors of pine are not original themselves... The idea or algorithm is coming from another article or book written by some mathematician or computer science guy.

3. Most of those conversions are being sold for fake names in MQL Market. 

 
Depends on how much people want the indicator, I guess.
 
Premium indicators should be paid, writing testing apis and transpiler technolghy takes time.
More and more professional developers are not interested in sharing free anymore beacause it
will only benefit generative ai bullshit. So the future is probably more stuff behind paywalls.
 
Hello
Very personally

If it's easy code
I give it with open code

If a code that starts to require a few hours, it can be free, but with a closed code

If it's a code where I spent days, the question no longer arises, paid and closed
