Is this not also true if the software is open-source? It's still advertising, but it's somehow ok because a corporation doesn't benefit? It's not that I don't agree with you - regulatory capture and vendor lock-in are much less of a concern for free and/or open-source software, but that doesn't mean it's not still advertising.
