The thing about free software is that people are free to fork and share the software. Take for example MS VS Code, it is partly free software and it has features that many users object to. Some people forked it to remove the malfeatures and now we have a version that achieves the main essence of VS Code without the bad stuff; we don't have to invest our effort to continually patch out the bad stuff in VS Code, we can just focus our energy on the forks that don't harm us.
I see people doing using their energy to continually patch out malfeatures of proprietary software because they feel that the proprietary software desired features are worth the energy of constantly fighting with the ideals of the software owner. This is not necessary with free software, you can invest energy one time to remove malfeatures, then all future energy goes towards extending and improving the desired features.
