I would argue that just because the source code is available, that doesn't mean the project is in the spirit of free software or respects users.

Imagine if curl just refused to download specific websites. Or if golang refused to compile code at all if it detected certain words in comments.

Sure, yeah, these would be still free software given that the source code is available to edit to one's liking. But it's really not in the spirit of free software & user freedom to impose arbitrary things like this. The free software / open source landscape would be incredibly irritating to work with in general if this sort of hostile attitude to downstream users prevailed.
