I mean, I don't have a problem with mod authors earning money for what they do instead of having to offer it for free. Especially the mods that bring the base game to a whole new level.

What's the argument that paid mods shouldn't be a thing?

Using someone else’s IP for making money is generally a little questionable.

But in the paid mods situation Bethesda was for the mod makers making money from the mod they made. It wasn't questionable then

The main issues that arose was there was no way to verify if x mod was by y uploader and quite a few mods made use of other mods like SKSE.
