well... yes, because they decide the definition of the terms

Stallman has a very particular view of Freedom (itself a multifaceted term)
and he rather famously completely rejects the term "Open Source"
the situation we're finding ourselves in is one where three increasingly malevolent entities control and capture 100% of the value generated by writing and selling software with source code
if you're an employee of these entities, great for you
for the rest of us, this is a bad situation to be in
and certainly not one that could produce another Red Hat
