That's very true. However, for several decades users had a bot more trust in FOSS as not betraying the user in the same way commercial apps do. Atom is abusing this trust. Just because Microsoft is doing what they want in Windows world it doesn't mean they can do the same when flirting with developers and preaching their love for FOSS.
Homebrew. Etcher. Gatsby. Atom. Syncthing.

Lots of programs are abusing user trust.
