What a shame Stallman didn't say it like this himself! I don't think I can take any objection to what you have said at all, but is that possibly because you yourself were a little more "pragmatic" about it all? Yes, that word again.
With Stallman it is "My way, or the highway". Although his viewpoints do have some truth to them, they are not even close to being Universal truths. This would be fine, but then he insinuates that only his way of looking at things is correct. Does that sound like freedom to you?
The Free Software movement is most definitely a valid one, but Stallman is building a religion that many of us find repulsive.
