This isn't about him returning in any comparable function. The new position is largly ceremonial and low profile.
Asking RMS to change (beyond what he already did) is a bit like asking a gay person to become less gay. He clearly is neurodivergent and has issues seeing beyond technicalities in discussions he feels strongly about.
As for the peace offer: we in the broadest sense won two years ago, and this peace offer is towards the many supporters of RMS who are not all bad people.
