The kind of "freedom" you're talking about generally has a high cost. At times, that cost is, well, "freedom".
Frustrating actually. There is no platform out there that delivers on the promise of getting you security and freedom. Certainly none that get you privacy. Right now it's all marketing and fanboys, but where the rubber meets the road, there's just no grip.

It's a shame that more open source platforms haven't taken off, but I'm not too surprised. I don't understand what you mean by the first sentence. Can you be more specific when you say freedom?
