"Removed from the only source of software" might as well be "removed from existence" when your platform is iOS.

There are other platforms for you to choose. Stallman wishes for there to be no other choices.

This isn't rocket science.

"Stallman wishes for there to be no other choices" I sprayed out my tea all over the keyboard! Seriously?
Yes, seriously. Stallman holds that it's immoral and unacceptable (in the world he would create) to have non-Free software. There are no exceptions.

Stallman desires to take away my choice to create (and implicitly, to use) software that doesn't meet his ideological vision of "Free" software. I reject that desire in toto; I do not presume to tell other developers of software what restrictions they may place upon software they right, just as I reject their attempts to do the same to me.

(Stallman's inability to fulfill his desire does not exculpate him from the moral failure of that desire.)

That is some pro-grade delusion you've got there.
