This is true, and I sometimes wonder if the only true solution is regulation or overhauling IP or such. But I don't see that happening, because proprietary software is too large and frankly libre software isn't asshole-proof enough for capitalism.
My preference would be using this tendency the other way. Make it so good they can't resist it, even if they accidentally eat their vegetables along the way.
