If you told me about a "freedom diet" where you only eat one thing, I'd laugh. The fact that I can technically choose not to follow the diet any day I want doesn't help.
Of course GNU can't force me to follow the decision they recommend every time, that doesn't change how their recommendations come across.
These are GNU philosophy pages, telling you how you can better live your life free of proprietary software. Of course it's a little lofty.
But there's nothing wing with assuming high. It's really only because some people have told themselves they shouldn't use existing proprietary software that we have GNU and Linux and all the rest.
