It's just an honest disagreement. I don't think your opinion is the way, but I don't begrudge it.
I'm just not an ideologue. What matters to me is having as much software tooling that is as useful to me as possible. I consider tools that I can modify and run myself to be more useful than those that are proprietary. But I don't require or demand the ability to re-sell someone else's software; that isn't a capability that is useful to me. That capability is pretty much entirely only useful to Amazon and Google, and that's just not something I care about optimizing for.
