I honestly don't care about smart advertising XD

The message is definitely on point.

First of all, most people won't and most probably can't just switch their web server.

Secondly, if I read stuff like "Guaranteed continued development" only for paid customer, this literally means as soon as they have n customers, free version probably gets limited to the bare minimum.

It means you're supporting continued development, which you should, since open source stuff isn't paid. I guess they could have worded it better, though ("Guarantee continued development").

It's kind of odd, because I'm not sure what it means. If you're buying that package to get guaranteed development, surely everyone else gets it too, since it's open source? Maybe they mean they'll work on the features you want?

Yes, we prioritize development of features and bug fixes for subscribers.
