There is nothing hypocritical about this. Simplewall does not add anything new that cannot be done with the standard Windows firewall. How else is someone going to play Steam games? It may be better to just game on consoles instead of the PC.
PrivacyGuides became sane. One cannot have privacy without security and security is more important than freedom. It makes much more sense to use a Google Pixel than a Linux phone and a new Windows secured core PC or a Chromebook than a Thinkpad older than a decade. Security researchers are more trustworthy and reputable than free software activists.
