You had to pay Apple for the development version (v.s. player) of Hypercard. I think this started with version 2.

In the case of all those other things, the taxpayer is paying for it, or else the company that hired him is paying for it, and actually he is likely himself paying for it because he is probably getting paid less considering he is getting paid in benefits instead of salary.
