Why on earth would club teams let everyone play for free? Are coaches going to coach for free? Are fields provided for free?
I believe the argument isn't "free" as much as "reasonable."
MLS/USSF would benefit from increased youth particiption by both fan growth + talentpool development. Makes sense that they should want to make that capital investment
Additionally, you can reason that a MLS run youth soccer program would benefit cost wise from an economy of scale, corporate structure efficiency and more competent administrators than a local club

And talking about an MLS program, they only cover 20 cities unless we're helping team Canada too... Huge chunks of our country are far from MLS.
