never seen any proof of anyone deserving anything, including that

In the part of the world I live in those are considered basic rights that everybody deserves. If where you live that isn’t true, then I’m sorry to hear that.

i can charge $1k or i can charge $0, if i can choose, why would i go with $0. i like money, it makes life easier.

Of course, you can charge how much you want for your software or any product you sell. Nobody wants to take that away from you. Free Software is not about price, but freedom.
