    Let's assume that I have a spouse or an elderly parent who are asking
    my help with their PC running a non-free OS: by the above reasoning, I
    should divorce my spouse or renounce my parents, rather than helping
    them, if for some reason they absolutely won't have me install a free
    OS.

If you love people, you should refuse to help them use non-free
software, because using non-free software is wrong.  There is no
need to stop loving them.
