1. you are introducing funny jokes with a serious argument, I find it a little hypocritical.
2. You can think that most people don't care about how stuff works, and that those people will easily give money for a car to just works, but that's also people's choice. In fact, these people that are just interested about every little detail of what they use, and that concerns geeks, maybe like Stallman and other, are just people conscious of what happens and the world and its ethics. Saying most people don't care is just like saying they're dumb. You are just insulting customers, and happily taking they money and treating them like nice milk cows. Not so much brilliant.
3. In the OSS world, you can make those people use free software, it just needs to pay people who delivers the service of delivering it the right way, not the one who actually make the same software over and over; today, it just doesn't happen because laws favors proprietary software at 99%, and don't come and say companies aren't taking advantages of that, they are, and when they can prevent OSS to take market share, THEY DO, BECAUSE THEY KNOW IT'S THEIR ENEMY'S ECONOMIC MODEL AND THEY'RE SCREWED IF THEY DON'T.
I find it easy to say that the proprietary software model just works better, there are obvious reasons for it to work better:
1. we live in a capitalist/patentable world, it favors proprietary software and big companies.
2. those huge companies don't have a monopoly in a proper sense, but they are putting a lot of barriers to keep the world proprietary: that's some kind of economic monopoly to me.
OSS has a lot of obstacles, my answer is you can't compare.
