My opinion is that this is not something limited to software. Think about rain forests, and about how difficult it is to connect money with nature. Free Software will always have aspects like this.

It would be better to focus on individual actions that may have been nefarious, on Bill Gates's part, than the overall fact that everyone started to use MS Windows. I think this is the only way to have some sort of audit of opinions. It is not clear to me that humans are able to en masse adopt actions that are always mutually beneficial.

You could also say that humans have universally adopted a stance that gold is valuable. The question of whether gold should be valuable or not is rather difficult to answer, and indeed this is what cypherpunks were thinking about in 2007.

I have a somewhat unpopular opinion that leather is more nature friendly than synthetics---since many hides, globally, are often discarded due to the cost of tanning---and if I were to make leather products more popular, on average, then it may become difficult to say whether it should be popular or not. And at that point one would need some sort of critical appraisal of individual actions and the individual intention and results of actions.
