This was discussed extensively here and on codeberg, regardless of your (or mine) personal take on the matter. It's also not the only motivation given for this GCD. Even if we take copyright and environmental costs (I think those were your concerns) away from the picture, there's plenty of reasons (and people backing them) to support this GCD. If none of them are convincing to you, maybe there's one last reason: out of respect for the collective perception/will. Cheers
