An example : can anyone point me to a webpage from the Foundation or the

intended for business use or that if you are a business you should buy
support ?

No, because there isn't one, because there is no requirement or even
strong recommendation.

But of course there is certainly nothing wrong with buying a support
contract if you want one.

It's a common cultural problem in the OpenSource community.  Everyone
thinks "they" deserve all software for free, but if you have a company
or business email address "you" should spend all of your money so that
they can continue to have free software.  It doesn't matter what
OpenSource operating system or application/software package you are
using, this irrational response persists.  I imagine it is even more
persistent in the LO world since they just cut free of "Sugar Daddy" >
and now need a revenue source.

I've never seen or noticed such an attitude - certainly not anything
nearly as pervasive or prevalent as you seem to by suggesting.
