I don't really think that's realistic. I can of course use software from non-profits or something at home, but we all work for a living, and every single job I've had has relied on software from a for-profit company in one way or another.
I guess I don't have to be an engineer, but even if I were to go be a cashier at Taco Bell or something, I would still be stuck using a proprietary POS system.
Unless I want to go live in a unabomber shed off the grid, I'm probably going to be stuck using software made by companies that do bad things. The software world is overwhelmingly run by Microsoft, Apple, Google, and Oracle (and probably a few others I'm missing), all of which do bad stuff all the time.
