Why on Earth would you think that users of proprietary software don't criticize it? I'm pretty sure that Windows gets more criticism than Ubuntu...

Take zoom: in HN we heard a lot of complains for ethical reasons, but the biggest part of the user base doesn't care and are just happy with it.

On FOSS, you'll have complains about the software it self AND ethics from most of your users, because they are mostly technical, and contains way more idealists than the average user sample.
