Correct… but rationality also trumps pseudorationality. Ideology isn’t about addressing where things are, but about influencing the direction society takes. The mere fact that many things are broken does not mean that, when given the choice between a broken and a mended thing, you should choose the broken one.
That being said, I myself am not averse to using non-free software when there is no practicable alternative. Wherever I can have a say in what software is used, I promote FlOSS (though I also recognize that others need not share my prioritizations.).
