I'm hesitant to label everybody who disagrees with you (and me) on
that a zealot.  Though I tend to take the same side you do, I'm not
entirely sure it's not just laziness on my part that I think that way.

Seems to me that holding opinions such as "it's a bad thing to support
open source software on closed source systems, and you should not do
it, for the common good" is far from crazy, even though I don't
currently happen to hold that view.
