For starters, consider that Stallman, and his kind set the goal posts far enough away that the field we get to play on is very large. Without them, there wouldnt be a field or anything to play with. We would be paying a subscription to watch it at home and it would probably have commercials.

This is a great point. Stallman and the FSF have an extremely positive impact merely by widening the Overton window.
