Not necessarily. Sometimes GNU software is available as bin, too.
Building software such as Icecat from source could takes hours on some
machines. Upstream URL http://www.gnu.org/software/gnuzilla/ ;).

https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/icecat/
https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/icecat-bin/

By providing FLOSS software as bin, it also could be easier to work
around dependency issues.

However, I'm not against proprietary software. I'm using
https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/ocz-ssd-utility/ to get useful SMART
output, since the output of smartctl is useless for my SSDs, let alone
that I could update the firmware and other useful features are provided
by this proprietary software.

https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/ocz-ssd-utility/

Not only useful, but really needed for my machine:
