I think this analogy has a hole. The Red Cross provides an essential
service. Lives depend on it. Lives are more important than the flow
of free software. Loss of the latter would not change the world as
much. The world would adapt.
Perhaps the strange thing is that the Red Cross exists. It is
essential, yet it is run by so many volunteers.
