The main goal of the free software movement was to have more free software available and replace proprietary software where possible. This isn't won completely but neither is it failing entirely. Much of mainstream software is kind of free software today.
However, you are right that corporations keep increasing their control of this free software at the expense of the non-corporate contributors and users. These corporations have evolved and embraced free software (partially). If free software is to keep being alive and healthy, non-corporate free software movement has to evolve their approach as well. For example, stop sucking up as much to corporate platforms(Github...) and proprietary hardware and build and use platforms and user-freedom-respecting hardware of their own.
