I disagree. EFF, FSF, GNU, etc is fanaticism as opposed to a realistic, pragmatic solution.
There is nothing wrong with paid, proprietary software. We've had proprietary software all the time but it's only in the last decade, since the rise of the spyware industry, "attention economy" and social media that computing became the shit-show it currently is. That is the root cause of our current problem, not proprietary software itself.
Proprietary software is fine as long as it plays fair or is kept in check with things like adversarial interoperability being made legal.
