Most people repeat buy things they like.... movies, games, music, magazines, porn, and the list goes on and on.

Or we could say the difference is one rebills and one collects the money up front.

So business?

Do they like write it down and keep track of all the various porn they watch so they know to come back after the part that got hem off? hehehe...

Or we could say, free creates more attraction, thus more people overall, thus more people to sell overall, thus more sales overall.

Surfers do not agree with you.

That's called freemium marketing and it makes billions and billions and billions in net profit yearly.
