Note: i am not trying to make it impossible through argumentation.. I could get convinced that that free/libre LLM models, available along with their training dataset (so one could potentially re-train them and to some extent get some reproducibility of the model?), ran on one own's infrastructure (or community-based, mutualised, etc. ie. not owned by some evil billionaire), with a focus on energy-efficiency, frugality maybe, could indeed be used for good, and provide quite some services with some menial/repetitive tasks (boiler plate, transcription, tests, etc.) and others, under strict validation/audit by humans, in free/libre software dev.
