It's the same kind of tragedy that happens with free software. I once spent an entire year using nothing but free software, all the way down to the peripheral firmware. It's still important to me, but as I grow older I get more and more important things competing for time, money and attention. Especially things you do outside, away from technology, with other people. It's all subject to the same FUD too. If every proprietary EULA was replaced with the GPL overnight, and if a webshop where you could buy all the parts to repair anything was to spring up overnight, everybody would still use the same software and devices they know and love, and would not be any worse off than before. But the opponents of either try to make it about protecting the consumers.
