Was StallmanWasRight just an early term for the (sub-) phenomenon of the enshittification / platform decay?

I believe the whole movement started when RMS got a new printer and the firmware was locked down. A feature he liked was taken away, and the manufacturer took control.

Fast forward a few decades and you'll realise this laid the foundation for the deluge of printer enshittificarion that followed.
