If you like other people controlling your computer/data and only being able to work with their permission, then no, I guess you don't need free software. Market share on desktops might be low, though I don't actually care. I care that when microsoft or apple decide you can't install software outside of their app stores, when they decide you can only use DRM enabled video players, etc, that there's somewhere to turn.
