In general I think you are right, but imo you have one serious flaw in your argument
>Worse, you've confused giving away Free Software with giving away hours of labor to startups. These are very different situations, and I think that you know it, but by confusing them, you get to claim that FSF and GNOME are as exploitative as Y Combinator. To give you a clue, one side backs Free Software, and the other side doesn't.
If you are working yourself to death for free software instead of ycom, you die the same. Producing free software isnt some magical net good that is worth your life.
