Opensource software is free most of the time. It doesn't prevent people from paying for it, too.

WinRAR does a job, you need it, you can pay for it, you pay for it. Not everything is about racking the maximum amount of money while avoiding every single expense, no matter how petty. These days there's certainly competition, but you should remember that it's been around for a long time.
