Let me get this straight, you cite Stallman on freedom and then claim that Google hasn't done anything wrong? Google the company that manages the webs most widely used DRM module? You are aware that Stallman and GNU explicitly oppose digital restrictions management in the context of freedom?

I think he's not as internally inconsistent as you claim.

"Doing things i don't like" would be locking me out of purchases I made or bricking my devices if I don't subscribe to some new service.

Google isn't doing this, you can use their products mostly for free and you're unlikely to rub up against the 900lbs gorilla that famously doesn't have support.

Until you do rub up against that gorilla; then you will start to cry about freedom, and retrospectively realise you kept trading it away.

I don't understand what issue you are going to. I haven't installed Widevine.

I'm extremely disagreeable, most people do things I think are foolish/detrimental to the general good/philosophically bad. We all get along regardless. The idea that Google does something I don't like that doesn't affect me is not ideal, but is usual in all my relationships with any entity you care to name.
