But why should those "freedoms" be taken as axioms if they don't work in practice to bring anything positive?

For example, if a software has millions of lines of code, it is effectively unmodifiable. So how is it different than a closed source one?

Or if a corporation comes in and just takes over, and the forks never gain traction because they lack the marketing budget?

Or if the developers abuse the users with privacy violations?

Why is theory being considered over what actually happens?
