No, this isn't about being a closed platform. It is about defining what should reasonably be considered blockers for Fedora's decisions and what is reasonable to impose as a burden on Fedora maintainers. It is possible to run plenty of non-Fedora software on Fedora just fine today and long into the future, both OSS and proprietary. None the less it is unreasonable to demand that volunteer Fedora maintainers take on extra work & responsibility to keeping arbitrary 3rd party software working indefinitely, especially when it is proprietary software.
