The way winRAR is right now, it is extremely widely used, and therefore they get many users who actually pay for the program and give the developers money because either 1.

Not for a personal user. Commercial users probably will want to in order to avoid licensing issues or to unlock additional commercial features. If i remember correctly, Winrar released for free for personal use, but the paid one is for companies. A genuinely good company that just wanted to help ppl out, but to make money they still have it in ...
