I get the sentiment,
however when the user base of a FOSS alternative grows beyond the closed source alternative, a switch can happen.
So it would be a good thing to have a FOSS alternative out there, which can accumulate a user base over time.
Without any alternatives being developed,
a switch can never happen.
Not modding a Bethesda game is a mistake though.
They’re notorious for publishing half assed games with great potential, but tend to be fairly open to the modding community patching things up and enhancing the experience.
If you ever would consider replaying it,
look into TheMidnightRide,
which is a great quality of life modpack for Fallout 4: https://themidnightride.moddinglinked.com/
