This comment is a few decades late. Big Tech doesn't think of RMS, because he's really irrelevant and doesn't stand in their way.
Why? Because he does a bad job in his role of movement leader and made himself irrelevant.
He's irrelevant even in niche circles -- how often do places like HN speak of anything related to RMS other than the drama of him being removed and later re-added to the FSF? Compare with the coverage of other prominent figures. For them we typically have regular non-drama news of what they're actually doing. For RMS we mostly have discussions of "is he a dinosaur?" and once in a while, "Stallman was right about something he said 10 years ago".
