There's no gain to society from having an open platform (I can develop Windows apps for free only having Windows), and converting it to a closed one. The transition of users from computers to closed devices like tablets and phones means now most people are only consumers and can't create anything on their devices. Except for selfies, that is. All PC platforms should be actively protected from this closure. If you think only a GPL OS deserves to keep that openness then you are ignoring the 98% of computers that don't run Linux, for IMO silly ideological reasons.
