The infrastructure need be there even if you give back just as much as you take. You do use it, your life would be worse if it weren't there.
Just like you do get a phone bill even if you don't make calls at all.

Suppose you have a shop on wheels in a rural area. You build up a client group, drive by their homes every day.
Some of them just look at your stuff but seldom buy anything. Would you keep turning up at their place every day for no charge at all? You'd lose big time on them.
And what will you do if they do take stuff off your hands when they need it, but bring it back a few days later and demand a full refund, time and time again?

For confirmation go to people just like you.
For education go to people unlike yourself.
