If my timelines are correct, the FSF ousted RMS before ChatGPT came out.

They actually re-appointed him to the board in 2021, also before ChatGPT came out: https://www.fsf.org/news/statement-of-fsf-board-on-election-...

ChatGPT came into the picture long after the open source issues we’re talking about were apparent. AI companies are making it even worse but solid advocacy in the 2010s or 2000s would’ve been helpful.

The FSF also ignored the SaaS revolution. They put out the AGPL but did not really market it or convert FSF projects to it.
