For me, it is about CONSENT.
Changes which the user did not ask for and did not want are NON-CONSENSUAL.
Non-consensual changes foisted on the user are par for the course in proprietary software, but they should absolutely not be a thing in FOSS.
If the developer can repeatedly force non-consensual changes on users without any recourse, that means the project is not healthy and needs to be forked.
If it cannot be forked, then the idea of it being a FOSS project can be safely interred and a tombstone placed above it.
