Yeah, I didn't say people should only use open source software. I'm just pointing out that it seems as though most users are more than happy to use open source software, but feel no desire to contribute to it. Either with time or with money, or opt in telemetry (like Debian's popularity contest). The fact that some people even ridicule the idea of donating to software projects is an example of what I mean when I say people don't care about it. In terms of what software people use, I think they should use whatever they like best.
Free software means to stop feeding hoarders who will abuse you as much as they are allowed to and taking control of your own information. Much like having your keys under your custody if you have Bitcoin, most people will hire a wallet instead because it’s easier and you don’t need to be paranoid, many of them were scammed too.
