I don't think his Linux bit is backwards. I think he is just saying switching to FOSS software because a company is taking a freedom isn't a real solution, and we should fight to make it so companies can't do certain things, regardless of if Linux or anything else is an option.

Admittedly I lack context. It seems on the surface this is a very loaded topic. I didn't get the gist it was 'switching' -- things existed/were being taken away. Absent anything else, I feel supporting the status quo does just that. Must break some eggs to make an omelet; quantities/plate count/portions matter. When I say 'loaded', I truly mean it. One could argue this in a positive self-fulfilling direction or the other: fallacy, 'sunk cost'. I feel as if this is capitulation, personally, but am clearly biased. Very idealistic, would prefer they be the change we want to see
