All of these restrict your freedoms, so that someone else is in control of the program and not the user. This is very much what free software stands for. So in reality, you're disagreeing with the principles of free software themselves.
> surveillance
Directly interferes with you being in control of the program, if it spies on you, violating the principle of free software that the user should be in control of the program and not the other way around.
> upgrade from Windows
So the Free Software Foundation advocating for the adoption of Free Software. Isn't that what it should be doing?
> DRM
DRM, by its very definition, restricts the freedom of the user to run the software in any way they wish, thus violating the free software principles.
None of these imply a "wide-reaching" political agenda.
