you get what you pay for.

The program is likely subsidizing the cost of the program itself by having backlinks.

i dont see the problem with it unless they arent upfront about it. Its more like they are offering you a deal, not screwing you.

lets use a simple example to explain.

lets pretend you hired me to code you an upload script, lets say it takes me $500 in labour , now lets say i offer to sell you the script . if i sell it for $500 i make money , if i sell it less than $500 i lose money. but if i sell it for $100 and put backlinks on every page , the overall worth to me is $500 but it saves you $400 in labour, im giving you the choice to buy a product for cheaper than it costs to make in exchange for backlinks.
