Uses car as an example... Amazing.
In my view, the car example is apt.
Everyone wants a Volkswagen bug: easy to maintain so that it runs forever.
Industry wants anything but "runs forever." They want you upgrading every seven years on the nose.

Of course. I never watch videos; they move too slowly.

Also, the development argument is kinda mute for most people, since most people cannot use it anyway.
(and spying is even worse)
Try using THIS argument instead:
A free software allows each programmer to make a free feature working for EVERYONE FOREVER. All it takes is one programmer.
