His point, and one I share with great reservation, is that the distinction might be moot now thanks to a changing understanding (selling?) of the various meanings and understanings of "free". The jaded concept of 'nothing is really free' carries with it a cold chunk of truth, and people are baking it in. People think they have to surrender agency and personal dignity for basic services.
