Well, no, the current Librem5 campaign shows there are folks who are willing to shell out money for something drastically better than any other solutions out there today. It's not perfect, but I would rather encourage companies who are striving towards perfection even if they are not perfect today.
I think Purism understands that there are still gaps in coverage, they even admit it on the campaign page. If they no longer make progress towards closing those gaps in future products, then I'm right there with you.. they should be dropped.
My philosophy aligns more with the FSFE than the FSF.
