to say that we would be better off without any free software movement is to say that anyone whose needs aren't served by the increasingly hostile dual worlds of proprietary computing - MacOS/iOS and Windows/Android+ChromeOs - doesn't belong

and not merely that. free software is not just deeply embedded in the work of computing, the central spine and brain stem of every modern computer _is_ free software. everything at the core of modern society is or was produced using it.
