FairEmail is a privacy oriented email app on fdroid which uses donation to activate pro features. €0.10 to activate one time and €7.50 for unlimited future devices. I think it's a pretty fair deal.

It's a fair deal, but the point is it's not a donation. You can purchase pro features, and that's great. But it's not a donation if you get a product in return, that's just a purchase.
Any real-life example of anyone doing this?

And op asked for real life examples and that is what this person is answering to
You can use it for free, you just need to donate to get rid of the banner and to get all features.
The bare functionality is in fact free
I'm not disputing that. I'm just finding it silly to call purchases donations.
I think FreeFileSync does make some additional features available when you donate, which I don't think would otherwise be available.
