Users being passionate about a free product because they love it... Is that marketing? There is no agenda here besides wanting to help other computer users not be exploited.

The behavior of big tech is unacceptable and users would not choose to be treated like that if they had an alternative. They just need to find out about that alternative. Linux users are really passionate about this because we know it's an amazing operating system.
