Even if it were true, this isn't the "entire point", or at least not to everyone. You're talking about communities that have diverse interests, and only a subset of those people are into avoiding all dependency on commercial software in the FSF or Debian sense.

"FOSS" includes Windows developers, Mac developers, iOS developers, Java developers, people working for bigtech corporations, and some bigtech firms themselves. (Some parts of these firms some of the time, anyway.)

it seems you confused commercial with non free software. Java may be a commercial product, but it is also free software and the FSF and Debian are happy with that. They do not reject commercial software quite the contrary.

That said, your point still stands.
