I don't get why you want to force your view of freedom onto everyone.

These sandboxed applications is not just for proprietary software. I
don't think it'll replace the current distribution model. It will
generate some competition. IMO competition is good, instead of
preventing sandboxed applications, show that the packaged applications
are preferred.

Now such distribution of applications also easily allow proprietary
applications: Awesome, finally! Easy to run Steam, Photoshop, etc.

The kernel is GPL and doesn't force this licence on Adobe. You can have
whatever license you want as application. These sandboxed applications
do suffer from various drawbacks, so better to believe in your solution
than to try and block another view IMO.
