As far as I’m concerned, it’s not about telling people what to do.
Instead it’s about deciding what to do as a project, this project being
both technical and political.

The distinction is crucial.  As individuals we all make choices and
compromises to make do.  Nobody is expecting contributors to be “saints”
or calling those who make compromises (which is all of us) “sinners”
(continuing with the religious vocabulary uses).

(I think the widespread RMS-style approach of pointing fingers, saying
“what you’re doing is unethical!”, has alienated a large part of the
population we’re claiming to “liberate” with free software.)

I totally agree.

I respect your choice but I hope you will reconsider.

Thanks for your feedback,
