OK, got it.
I have a loose hypothesis on that. It fits to nostr, bitcoin, austrian economics etc. There is a certain, small percentage of freedom lovers in society. The libertarian parties' election results all over the world are a rough estimate of this percentage. Around 1–5 or so. If such a party gets a better result, it's because they went into an alliance with some populists, eg. nationalists.
These freedom lovers are more likely to be the wolves, to use freedom tech, to place their liberties above their comfort. This applies to relatively free and rich countries. In other circumstances the percentage may change drastically, when people are put against the wall. But in times and places where comfort is easily available, at least 95% will choose comfort above freedom.
