Yes, I do. And every day I'm reminded of how right and how forward thinking Stallman has been all along.
It's really a matter of freedom vs price.
At this point it's not even about software alone, it's about software and hardware. You literally cannot trust most of the TVs you buy not to spy on you because you can't inspect the software, and there is no way to load a modified version of it.
You are forced to throw away perfectly functioning stuff (sonos speakers for example iirc?) because the software will refuse to work. Stuff you paid with your own money. And the e-waste, the pollution!
And so on and so forth... On many other topics.
