I think that's why most people prefer Windows, MS Office and other
non-free softwares. Most people don't care about software freedom, they
care about ease of use and performance. If a non-free software is
easier to use or has more features, people will use it. It's the same
with any product, not only software. People care about functionality,
ease of use and price. Freedom is not an issue.
In the context of a power user and professional applications free access
to code and a liberal licese ARE the keys to low cost and usability.
