Then refuse to do it. People complain about the journals, then do free work for a for-profit.

Refuse the service to the community that one is embedded in?

I see how one can justify reviewing for certain publishers, e.g. because they publish predatory journals or their shady business practices, but refusing to review any papers would be pretty much freeloading on the scientific community. Sure that's not an option.

No, I mean refuse to review for any journal that isn’t open source?

You said not reviewing for predatory journals, so apply that to journals that Elsevier owns?
