And regarding the support of paid app, juste have a look around the web. You'll read many articles about the fact that making a leaving with paid apps is a kind of mirage.
As for donations, just this morning I made a donation to the creator of Working Hour Tracker. Extremely nice tool that I have started using to keep tabs on how much time I really use working.

And mind you, the app in question is BSD licensed Fully Open Source SW and available in GitHub. (And frankly if it was not so I probably would not have made any donations, I do have my standards you see...)

So regardless of whether there are paid apps or not in the store, the people creating useful SW will be paid by someone.
