"Just don't use X" doesn't solve any problems in any space, unfortunately.

Plus, it's an avoidant and reductionist take.

Note: I have nothing against BSDs, but again, this is not the answer.

Stop trying to make everyone act like you act.

You could describe Richard Stallman as someone who refuses to use proprietary software because he sees using it as becoming complicit--however indirectly--in a technology ecosystem that violates the values he’s committed to.

"Just don't use X" is in fact a very engaged and principled response. Try again.
