Would you like to also own and have control of the data you store in these web-based platforms?

If I'm already compromising by using non-free software, does it matter that much? How do I know what a native app is sending back in its telemetry?

By using non-free software, you're compromising on politics that don't really affect anything directly - not unless great many others suddenly embrace the ideas behind Free Software.
The compromise of using SaaS in the cloud in lieu of regular, native software, is affecting both you and society directly.
