Free software enforcing its own principles is in no contradiction of free software. Why should proprietary software be able to get all the benefits of free software and play by none of its rules and free software is supposed to just take it?
Even democratic societies have mechanisms to protect themselves that are restrictions of some kind on expression.
There are plenty of proprietary OSes out there that give zero shits. Why there can't be some that do? Or does everything need to be just cold, industry serving tool without any human care behind it?
