      You’re not wrong. But you are talking about the extreme who won’t use anything non-FOSS. In general, it is fair to say that all proprietary software is malware.

          No one is allowed to change and fix it but the developer, thus you are harmed by being dependent on the will and motivations of the dev. Increasing dependence is always malus

              Well the sun and your cells aren’t controlled by anyone, there is no one taking your choices away and profitting from that.

              I see your point with offline games, I also wouldn’t consider them as malware.

              I had regular programs in mind you use on a pc or smartphone
