I think you went too far there and that's where I lost you.

I sure appreciate that FSF gives me access to a kitchen where I can cook my own dishes. I know how to cook, it would be shame, and extremely infuriating if all chefs were constrained to a shitty one size fits all "Mcdonalds". "Mcdonalds" is plenty good for many, and that's fine, its just that I don't want to eat there for ever after when I know I or someone else can cook up something better at times.

Or to give another example, if I know how to handle a slightly more complicated control I would happily buy a car that permits that, rather than some generic blasé Chevy Vega, may be a 911.
