Your analysis is sobering.
I agree, the FSF needs to be adopt a more positive plan of action. Most
people aren't swayed by picket-sign activism.
True, Google is not our friend. There's a good reason they never adopted that
"We Are Not Evil" slogan officially.
And as for Mozilla, I think they took a middle way with supporting H.264 ...
they're still crossing their fingers for VPNext to somehow gain ascendancy.
But I think a patent-encumbered format like H.264 still pales in comparison
with the prospect of DRM in HTML.
