You can essentially use Sublime for free indefinitely. It shows you a prompt to buy a license for every few saves you make but that’s about it. Not invasive in my book. I also think people underestimate the amount of work that goes into building a good text editor and keeping it up to date over the years.

You can, but then the license explicitly forbids you from using it for commercial purposes.

I cannot use Sublime without license in my work setting without violating License terms. That's a huge deal breaker

That’s a good point. I think if you really like the editor it might be something your employer could pay for. At least ST only offers a one-time fee for each major version. Of course that depends on where you work and their policies. So I see how it’s not so easy and my comment definitely missed that part.

Which is basically anything that is done on company hardware. Also there is a compliance factor, at least at my company.
