"Ridiculous" is extreme. You are very new to the ESO add-on scene so you have yet to see the heavy turnover in authors. There are many factors that go into it, but among them is that it is time consuming and not rewarding.
Many start off because they see something that is lacking and they want to add it for themselves. Then, they share it for free. From there, it's all bug reports and feature requests. Maybe one in a thousand users will at some point say "thank you" but that eventually isn't enough to want to continue.
No one else was offering to work on it and I doubt he was going to use it much himself, so he was offering a viable means of you getting what you want if you wanted it that badly.
Many of us are professional programmers and to nearly imply our time isn't valuable just because we do some things for free is slighting.
