I think you underestimate the impact of GNU on your daily life. Sure, someone else might have made the same things, but in this timeline RMS did and by removing him, most of the software you are currently using falls apart.

Not true at all. I intentionally use BSD licensed software. Open Source predates GNU and would exist just fine without it.
