> Wanting openness in everyday tech isn't "absolutist" in itself. But the article's tone (and a lot of the FOSS movement's rhetoric) frames it as failure rather than frontier.
It is a failure. Things have been moving away from openness. A frontier would move toward it.
That’s predicated on the assumption that FOSS is preferable to the alternative- maybe it isn’t.
