I don't get the impression that the majority of HNers these days actually advocate for Free software. It's not like the GPL is the most popular license, my impression is that the FSF and GPL had its peak growth in the early 2000s.
Nowadays most developers seem to prefer permissive licenses and distributing proprietary software for android/ios. They couldn't care less about RMS.
Just look at how little response Purism Librem 5 update threads get on HN. They're practically dead, and this device is the only modernish GNU/GNOME/Linux smartphone to speak of.
