It won't happen. What might is paying back if you use it for commercial projects.
Something like you pay some percent of your gross to an organisation and that gets split between the top level dependencies you use and then split down through their dependencies.
Software remains free for non commercial use, companies pay a fair share and the Devs get paid.
I guess it's a wishful thinking, on the line of corporations pay for the damage and pollution they create...
