You realize that you're choosing a future here where nobody owns their data nor has the ability to actually run software on that data themselves... unless they have a lot of free time and the skills of a developer and IT professional, right?
People are letting the idea of open source as originally conceived eclipse the goal of providing freedom to the user.
It's a pretty common thing. When an idea doesn't turn out exactly as people wanted, it's very common for people to double down on the idea to the point of even turning against the original goals of the idea. This is what open source is doing. The license is more important than what the license was intended to achieve: freedom for the end user.
