I don't think technology itself has outpaced RMS at all, but it definitely appears that he doesn't keep up on current events. I remember when he released his screed against JavaScript as if he had just discovered it, but JS had been widely used for years at that point.

It hadn't really been widely used for anything more than image rollovers though. His concerns arose when entire apps began being written in client-side javascript

Seeing the source and nothing more doesn't qualify as 'free software'
