Puh, this is very shallow. "There is a growing call for sustainable open source, non-profits, and adjacent organisations that appears to align with the very strong culture of radical anti-capitalist organising and contribution in either free or open source software projects" - where is the source for that? Not everythying that this open is "anti-capitalist", and for sure not "radical anti-capitalist". The two examples given (NixOS and Rust) are particularly bad examples.
"The ideology of free software has failed to substantially deliver freedom in consumer software" - this shows a fundamental misunderstanding of what free software is about. This has been discussed a lot, and I want to remind us of the "don't contribute to open source" debate https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5nY_cy8zcO4
