If wi-fi is basically radio waves then why do we pay a monthly bill for it? If I go out and buy 2 radios give one to a friend and we talk over it, we don’t have to pay for that monthly. Also I don’t pay for like my microwave or FM radio monthly. I know I’m missing something, just a curious thought while staring at my router.

the way you worded it is like asking why you’re paying for having a flushing toilet. You’re not paying for the toilet nor would you be charged more for adding a 2nd bathroom to your house, you’re paying for the water coming in through the pipe to feed all your plumbing.
Same deal doesn’t matter how many devices or the way it’s getting the signal, you’re paying for the “pipe” serving your router Internet access.
