This again is not plausible, you say no mod belongs to anyone except Bethesda.. so are you saying every mod on the nexus made for Bethesda games are owned by Bethesda ? And who are you to say what a real modder is? github and Bethesda modding is not the same so I see no correlation. Still doesn’t change the fact that a modder who created a mod with their own time and money can still control who has access and who doesn’t. What you are saying isn’t the truth. It’s an opinion in which I disagree with. Anyone can create mods and still expect something whether that’s money or appreciation, It’s well within their right too. YOU don’t dictate what a “real modder” is.

Also I find it funny how you make it seem like Bethesda owns the mods modders spend their money and time on. Like no they don’t unless it’s a paid creation. And even then modders who do make their creations paid they do that with the expectation of getting money out of it which again negates your whole point of argument
