The main reason open source projects exist at all is because of people who started them with quite often fringe ideological leanings. Just look at the GNU project.
And fringe economical leanings, too. Just look at the GNU project: the firmware in printers is still of subpar quality, and GNU didn't really help to change that... and why on Earth would it, anyway?
It’s nowhere near 2003 anymore, and whether you or I like it or not there is a far greater visitation in ideology than there used to be. Your point is basically irrelevant.
