Just imagine if they had never spoken up. Where would Ubuntu be now, if
at all?

I would agree with you here (aside from some art, maybe) but I don't
think the FOSS purists are wrong to want to keep freedom, well, free. If
they stop, pack it in and say "meh" then within a few years there will
be no freedom in source code.
I think it's proprietary code that's like a religion: all about power
and rights and mysterious powers and how you should just STFU and trust
them to know best.
