Why is it better, if it's populated by people who don't take their supposed ideals at all seriously?

What are those ideals and how are they relevant to your project? What do you expect out of participants of a project other than a willingness to collaborate and work on that project?

Why would you (or anyone) be working on a project that is not highly relevant to your ideals? That seems like it would be a huge waste of a very short window of opportunity.

You didn't answer my question. Therefore it's still unclear to me what ideals you are talking about.

My ideals, as far as I think they concern a project I work on, is that I want to work on the project. The use of non-free software doesn't preclude those ideals.
