Even most "FOSS" "user freedom" advocate aren't able to properly and clearly articulate why the things tech megacorps do are evil. Because the technically inclined people who fill these spaces and forums and blogs tend to be apolitical even in their politics, they always frame it as a problem of not being given enough choice, like they can't say that something is bad per se, just that it's bad if the user can't choose anything different. They have no conception of liberated computing (and truth be told, most avowed leftist techies don't have one either; such a thing is still to be fully developed), so when Google gains more and more control over the bodies that dictate web standards, and as the web itself becomes increasingly under the control and surveillance of megacorps, they can't experience it as truly sinister as long as some choice is still there to just use a different browser or platform or rooted device with an underdeveloped experimental FOSS OS installed.
