> Where the critique doesn't make sense is trying to say these issues are specific to FOSS

This is just not a logical reading of his argument. He is saying FOSS is necessary but not sufficient. His argument can clearly only apply to FOSS and doesn’t apply to other kinds of software.

> Saying that's "not enough" is very entitled, and missing the point.

Except that’s not what he’s saying. You are responding to the title of the piece but not that argument it makes.

He’s saying FOSS is not enough to empower people in general to hack on software and bend it to their will.

It’s not clear what you mean by ‘entitled’ in this context.
