    But why do we want more proprietary software running on Linux?

    You’re right, there’s downsides for the FOSS community, but it’s much better for many individuals.

    Usability, accessibility and privacy for a user is better when any proprietary software, that they cannot avoid, can at least run relatively sandboxed inside an OS they have control over.

    Wouldn’t we be recreating the same situation that Windows has?

    Good point, but thankfully, an open OS mitigates these issues a great deal.
