NGINX Plus has been around since at least 2014 if not longer. Your theory makes no sense, the server has been rising in popularity even faster since.
AFAIK the Plus version is just not something people care about but its also never had any impact on the open source one. And as a strong advocate of open source I find it extremely annoying when users find reasons to complain about friendly models for monetization of such software. :/
