We need the idealists to keep pushing for more open standards. Sure, it's not realistic for most people to get by with pure libre devices, but the people at FSF and GNU have inspired a lot of positive changes. I live in a grey area, trying my best, but have learned to trim back gradually the proprietary software. I've just gotten Fairphone and installed e/os (no whatsapp, facebook, google maps, etc and it's a removed), my Tuxedo computer runs Fedora and my Raspberry Pis run Raspi OS; yeah, there are all kinds of firmware blobs, but I do the best I can and move on, always towards more ethical and libre products. I also donate money to libre projects.
