When none linux users say "linux is free so there must be something wrong with it" how do you reply?

I was told this by a more elderly person recently. It wasn't said as a troll but as genuine cynicism. I know how great linux is and the quality of the operating system compared to windows but in all the years I have used it, when I thought about it, I didn't have a good answer for that.
How does one respond to the old "free = junk" maxim?
She followed with "how does the company exists if it is free?" I did have some kind of response to that having read a little about it in the past. I said that it is made in a voluntary manner and then money comes from support offered at a price. Not sure how complete that answer is but that is what I remember from reading about it some years ago.
