If you value FOSS for being free (as in beer), that doesn't mean everyone else does. The majority of people who run FOSS do so for its beuaty in Freedom, Reliability, Robustness, Liberty from lock downs, and just for a little bonus of being free. You my friend are narrow minded and see everything in one prespective. Few years back, FOSS users put up with many weaknesses just to enjoy what FOSS offers, today, we enjoy its superiority along with its Freedom. Wake up and stop the nonsense.
