I'm not against FOSS, in fact I'm extremely pro FOSS. I'm against the idea that simply using FOSS is the goal. My goal is productivity and most of the time that deals with leveraging free software which is great.
FOSS at any and all costs is radical. It's the very definition of radical. It's an absolute. It bugs me when the no true Scotsman argument is used to shame a well designed but partially closed or entirely closed software rather than blaming itself for not providing an equal user experience.
Most people just want to do work on their computers. Most don't give a shit about using their computer to push some everything-free ideology.

For example people like me expressed massive problems with privacy @ facebook years before the recent "scandals" apparently "shocked" these normal computer users that just want to "work on their computers" with out caring about little things like privacy, ethics, or liberty.
