people who are buying into an ecosystem where we put our trust into the same corporation to protect us from malware

Terms of use change all the time. Cooperate strategies and CEOs change all the time, trusting such a fluid system seems stupid. Give us the freedom to audit and modify the systems we use to best fit our needs, like the GNU/Linux operating system allows us to. That is the philosophy behind open source and that is exactly what fsf promote here imo.
