I think the opposite is actually true - people want to pay for music, but in a way that compensates the artists they like without enriching someone who 'only' provides the mechanism that they use to listen. People rail against Spotify, music labels, and TicketMaster for extracting so much money from the music industry that there's very little left for people who actually make the music.
The music industry has made millionaires out of people who would otherwise just be playing or singing in a room.
The software industry has made millionaires out of people that would otherwise just be hacking or debugging in a room.
