Well, kind of (at least last time I used it, which was Sublime Text 2). They say it's an evaluation but there is no time-limit, just an annoying popup every now and then (or on start? Can't remember) but it's effectively free if you're OK with that.
I mean, basically all desktop software is free if you’re okay with violating the license. Not something I’d advise if you’re trying to run a business.
For instance, startup X seems profitable but all revenue is from other startups not making money yet. Like a big ponzi scheme of sorts. Most products mentioned in the article are now mainstream, but for lots of them a few years back they were small and only used by other small startups.
I feel like a big portion of the apps you accomplish similar things. To name a few, Airtable, Notion, and Trello can all do CRM funnel, product roadmap and issue tracking. Even though 2 out of 3 are free, you guys could probably condense them into a centralized spot.
What is the benefit of paying for GSuite for such a small team? Also Github? You can now have private repos with up to three collaborators for free.

You get Gmail and the other services on your own domain instead of a gmail.com address.
I'm an even smaller team (me, myself, and I) and I pay for G Suite for that reason.
This is an interesting list, but it thinks of software as somehow fundamentally different from non software products, which is a mistake IMO. It makes it seem like Software is super expensive or something, when in reality, if you think of all inputs into your business, these costs are trivial.

Additionally, one could sacrifice on features and use GitHub projects instead of Trello. That’s what we do at work. Not great, but pretty painless for tracking dev work
Btw, another cool alternative that I've been playing with lately is ClickUp, which also has a generous free tier.
And on a general note, given that these days all of these systems have good APIs and export capabilities, I'd say there isn't that much business case to consolidate to fewer systems.
