They should respect the whole net - not only their own nodes to make more money!

Otherwise its an own net!
First of all: Gnutella is not a democracy. It is completely legitimate, if some clients don't connect to certain other clients to improve performance for their users.

Second: Fairness or respect is not an issue here, outside of cloud-cuckoo-land, money, however, is. So you can't blame anybody for trying to make a living offering Gnutella-clients.

Third: Neither Bearshare not LimeWire are blocking all other clients, - they are reserving connection slots for clients which match certain criteria.
