This is not a good analogy to this situation, because we're not asking you to give up nonfree software. Instead, you are demanding that we include nonfree software in Guix. If you want to make an analogy to veganism here, here's a better one: What you're doing is analogous to walking into a vegan restaurant and demanding that they add meat to their menu, based on the argument that by excluding meat from their menu, they are infringing on your right to eat what you want.
