Pragmatic people install them in a VM or inside Flatpaks and make the permissions more restrictive. Dual boot between two encrypted isolated distros is also possible. It doesn't seem so overkill when you have to use not only proprietary software but also things like npm and containers.
Many pretend they don't use proprietary software while they still install what could be called malware directly from Steam. We're all forced to use proprietary software inside our CPUs and other hardware anyway. It would be easier to fight back if more people used and supported free software and hardware to move society to a better place. By the way I'm not implying that being open source or not has something to do with software quality.
There are a few that is very hostile it seems.
Most of us just want a choice between good desktops, 30% faster compiles, cli commands (e.g. git) that completes in milliseconds instead of seconds etc.
Most reasonable persons, even the more free software loving ones are happy to run 50 - 75% free rather than 100% proprietary :-)

Another question: with Pantone support could there be an oss version?
