It is unreasonable.
Just imagine the amount of wealth that has been created in the past couple of decades by using proprietary software.
Though one could argue the same could have been done with free software, he's saying (as you paraphrase) that it's better to have no progress at all than to have progress at the cost of using proprietary.
