When the alternative is the exact same thing you describe but for $0 dollars, then yes.

For sure! $0.00*

* $0.00 plus additional risk that the author of the alternative you are using is compromised, you end up using a malicious version of that alternative, and get pwned.

Obviously for some/many, that trade-off is totally cool. But it needs to be included in the analysis, otherwise you're being dishonest.
