Yeah, I have to argue both sides, and desu the free software movement has some issues. I still am not 100% free, but I hope to achieve that independence eventually.
I think the biggest issue is expecting programmers to be fine with docking their salary for the sake of freedom. Based on my knowledge of the industry, most programmers are there for the money, not because they love the field and developing software. With money coming first, it seems hard for such a drastic switch to happen. Also, I argue that a majority end users won't take the time to look through and research what software they are using. Therefore, proprietary software is better because you don't have to deal with programmers having to dock their salary, and you also don't affect that many people who wish to see the actual software (source code).

How 'bout dem software that you can never fully own?
I've always wanted to buy a legit copy of Photoshop but now you can't even buy it! And I have to keep a laptop with Windows 7 laying around just to have an offline word document program.
