I'm pretty sympathetic to the fair and largely factual argument that a lot of free software advocacy is driven by computer-toucher control issues (viz. rms inventing an ad hoc revolutionary socialism from the ground up and then exactly and only applying it to him being mad that, unlike ITS, Unix systems have a root password he can't have) but the one example that comes up so often that I can't understand is linux-libre. Like, I don't use it, I think it's kinda silly - particularly on modern hardware that has shit like the Intel Management Engine, where the kind of low-level control avoiding binary blobs could even in principle grant you is already gone - but for people who really want it I'm glad that it's there, and unlike things like eg Mastodon or desktop Linux there's basically no one out there pushing it to anyone except other bad nerds like myself. I dunno, of all the good examples, "there's a kernel hack you have to seek out at great personal effort to install that no one has ever been forced in even the smallest way to use" seems like a weird one.
