Three decades of free software that generated billions upon billions of revenue and a big part of existing infrastructure is built upon is far from "wall to wall toxic waste".

I'm not a fanboy for the sake of it, but you're being a little over your head here.

Online Linux services are so powerful, that they can even ban the president of the united states of america.

Even in the literal sense revenue does not imply the absence of toxic waste. Indeed, historically speaking, revenue has been strongly associated with toxic waste.

I don't mind expressing this opinion. There is nothing anywhere in the GNU project which should be emulated, except the license.
