As others have pointed out, the Right to Repair movement has achieved far more practical progress than Stallman has.

Stallman can't/won't even defend the GPL in court; others have had to organize outside the FSF to do so because the FSF is only interested in stroking its beards.

Right to Repair and the other foundations fighting to defend GPL don't seem to be in conflict with Stallman's position, nor what the FSF does, so your point would be that the FSF is not as efficient as you want it to be ?

In my opinion, if Stallman is an hermit that only serves as an anchoring for other people to move toward the right direction, I'd argue it's plenty enough.

Now I don't know much about the FSF finances and what we should really be expecting from it.
