Hippies invented best parts of tech and internet, Richard Stallman is also kinda hippie and we all enjoy our GNU/Linux to this day! 
IF all new mainstream computer and smartphone devices won’t have hardware backdoors in the future, like Apple does now (which btw makes it not safe to have a conversation with anyone on Apple device, even if you both use Signal / Session for example, because it will be decrypted on Apple’s hardware-to-ai-to-cloud end).
I argue - they’ll certainly try it Microsoft Pluton "integrated security" (Intel, AMD, Qualcomm), therefore it will kill privacy and security for most people.
And some fully FOSS hardware / software will become…de-facto outlaws 
P.S. I pray each day to my RISC-V shrine
