I wonder if a case can be made for the theory:

Making music gratifies the performer, and therefore non-performers don't
feel the need to pay as much for the product.

After all, the performer is having enough fun already, right? and the
performer probably gets more pleasure out of the music than the
audiences does in the first place, right? That's why the performer
smiles so much and appears so caught up in his/her own emotions.
He/she would be playing even if you didn't pay anthing, right?
