That's the open source view. Practical, fun, and no attention paid to ethics.
And yet what do we see? Microsoft, Apple, etc. trying to dominate things. They don't want anyone to even think about ethics and freedom for users and developers.
Because of their actions I think it's even more important to take ethics and freedom into consideration.
It's like politics...the reason to pay attention is because everyone else is an asshole and will eventually try and screw you over in some way.
