This argument would make every commercial competitor of free software as "evil". It would also imply that all humans should seize all commercial software development as soon as something free is available. This is obviously not true. People don't pay for things that they don't have to. Windows was much more user friendly operating system than *nix and despite of several of its shortcomings, it was fairly usable by huge swatch of non-technical people. This why people demanded it on their PC and directly or in-directly paid for it.
