#5I personally paid for Fortran compilers from Absoft, Lahey, Microsoft, NA Software, Imagine1 (for the F subset of Fortran), Digital, and Compaq in the past. The former two are no longer sold, and Compaq Visual Fortran became Intel Fortran, which is now free. I would be open to paying for a compiler if it is better than free offerings.

#6I have in the distant past. I am so grateful I don’t have to anymore. Even the embedded space seems to have mostly ditched for-pay IDEs and compilers.

#8What does "programming language" mean? A compiler?
It means a programming language that is better designed and works better than most of today's programming languages, to start. Think better than C and Golang, simpler than Python.
It also means a compiler. A language with better toolchain and better development experience.
It doesn't mean an IDE, at this stage. An IDE might be as much work as the language. Although integrating with an IDE can improve the debugging experience.

Wouldn't you prefer to pay for the language once and not have to pay for it again? I would, but everyone's different.
