Frankly, it's self-indulgence. Recently, Stallman has been complaining about the diversion of resources away from free software towards retro computing.
- IntelMiner 4y agoAs much as I hate to give Stallman oxygen, as a fellow retro computing enthusiast I'm morbidly curious to read about it. Is there anywhere I can find the full text of his caustic remarks?
- prvc 4y agoI recall having heard it in a somewhat recent solo video address of his, although I don't have the exact timestamp ready to hand.

Retrocomputing is almost always pure hobby, done for joy and recreation, while there is plenty of drudgery in libre/open source software. He shouldn't be surprised when geeky goofing off is a lot more fun for people than frequently unpaid labour.
