Said free stuff is collected by the hard labor of very rugged individuals. Collected free stuff is then transported on large tankers which cost beaucoup dollars. Tankers off load free stuff to facilities which then refine free stuff and break it down to its constituent components. These facilities also represent a sizeable dollar investment.

Constituent components are then sold on a mostly free market to recoup investments...and then some. Howzat?

If you think that free stuff is easy to gather up, you should certainly try and see how difficult it is to gather it up.

Sand is "free" too.

This is made out of sand. It is quite costly.
