As a developer, I agree with the sentiment that FLOSS won.
As a consumer, I think the situation is in some ways worse than ever. Consumer software used to be distributed to the end-users' PCs. You could store your data on your PC, and inspect the source code to make sure that nothing nefarious was going on. Now the code stays with the companies (so you can't modify it or learn from it), and you send your data to them via the browser.
