You're reading too much of your own POV into another person. Compare this essay with a random earlier one I selected (I just scrolled down and clicked a title that would seem ripe to disprove you) http://paulgraham.com/opensource.html Morality is rife within it, justice, monopolies, boss-employee relations. He may have changed but all of his essays aren't amoral. |

There is an assumption that a monopoly by MS would be dangerous. That's not a particularly judgmental stance. I could imagine someone having a different belief system about monopolies, but it hardly seems like a moral claim.
Then he is saying that he prefers to work with an economic partner rather than under the employer-employee system. He doesn't say it is morally right. He says that business can learn from this, because it would make the business more productive. That's an amoral argument. He's invoking economics to justify a way that people should interact.
It's basically a libertarian argument, and in general this type of argument is agnostic about morals.
