Theoretically you shouldn’t need to, who buys a plugin is entitled to its source code because it must be licensed under GPLv2 or later due to Wordpress’s own licensing.
Despite that, I haven’t dug much, but I am surprised I haven’t found an alternate store that redistributes plain plugins without the paywall.
Are you sure you need the paid-for plugins, or could you get away with free (gratis) ones?
That sounds pretty awful, don’t know what to say really.
I should consider myself lucky that I touched WordPress only for a short period of time, the development experience felt really clunky to me. That also means I’m not terribly experienced, so I hope someone more knowledgeable can chime in

I only do free plugins for now, but many of them are outdated, paywalled, etc
Sometimes I just want some feature, but have to forget about it because it costs $499 for adding a switch style button to somewhere, you know
By the way, yeah, why don’t we still have an alternative market
