RMS should have separated the guidelines and advantages of free software. One guideline for the end-users and the other for developers. Developers want access to the source to study it, modify it, and/or distribute it. End users just want the freedom of using it.

Don't give the end users something they do not understand (code), but make it easily discoverable for the intelligent users (programmers).

I believe this is like giving your restaurant clients a meal that is not fully cooked or lacking spices with the full recipe, but also priding yourself that your food is free.
