I'm not going to respond to most of your comment, but this suggestion is pretty weird:

> Use unpopular OSes like TempleOS instead of giving even more market share to Google/Apple/Microsoft

...Why? You could also just use Linux or BSD. TempleOS seems like a very odd suggestion for people looking to cut out non-free operating systems cold turkey.

Edit: In case this isn't clear, I'm responding to the commenter's commercialism thesis. I mean free as in beer, not as in speech.

You're still giving market share to the "open source winners". Linus and RedHat have both made piles of money.
The GP is about popularity not freedom.
No it isn't, it's clearly about commercialism. The commenter makes specific examples and includes the phrase "buying decisions".
