is the "free software" 4 freedoms definition too idealist? (lemmygrad.ml)

I've been struggling to come up with words to describe my frustrations with the definition of free software and how it ignores some of the nastiest behaviours of corporations.

Stuff like EEE, repositories that are technically free but owned by a corporation and too big to fork (chromium), and other hazier real life conditions. Could there be a "free software but dialectical" definition that would be more useful?
