Yes I realise that proprietary products are sometimes built on non-copyleft code. I agree that these products are unethical, but I don't agree that this makes non-copyleft software or licenses unethical. Proprietary products have also been built on top of copyleft code, eg Android is built on Linux, SteamOS is built on Debian, which contains a lot of copyleft code (including Linux). Does this make Linux or Debian "evil"? For that matter, Trisquel, like all GNU/Linux distributions, contains large chunks of non-copyleft code. Does this make Trisquel "evil"?
Yes, I've read Stallman's articles at that link, and I agree that proprietary
software is unethical, but as I said, I think calling proprietary software
"evil" is over-stating your case.
