Perhaps because no one of any import really cares about all the semantics,
nuances, complexities, intracies, posturing, and grandstanding.

The biggest thing against open-source/free software is something called
intrinsic value.  People, at least of the capitalist mindset, truly believe
that you get what you pay for.
