To be fair, that's true of almost everything.
I still have my university email (graduated in 2020) so I've been renewing my student license that gets me a free license for the occasional times I use them.
I kinda wish they'd just go for the Winrar or Docker business model, where it's free for individuals but businesses have to pay up.
I feel that's not my problem as an employee. I work the same amount of time regardless.
Example: without Intellij, you deploy some back end code interacting with an OCR solution.
Example: with Intellij, you can build the whole OCR solution yourself.
Doing the latter translates long term into higher salaries and more money in your pocket. You have to talk about what you did in interviews and your answers will be reflected in the offers you get.
The only way this would not apply would be if you can say “I am absolutely sure I will never move on from, or be laid off by, my company,” which is not a recommended strategy in this economy.

How did IntelliJ taught you how to make OCR ? Or the example is completely out of your wild imagination ?
Do you have any source for this very surprising claim?
I'm sure your boss will be overjoyed when the company will get hit by a lawsuit :)
