I wouldn’t say OSI is similar at all to FSF in terms of goals. The OSI (in their own words) is concerned with open source as a development method for software. I would say those other organizations are FSF-adjacent but only the FSFE (as its name implies) has the same mission as the FSF
Regardless, I agree in general - I think the FSF could learn a thing or two from EFF and FSFE.
I don’t disagree with you but I think I’m using a broader brush than you (the general aspect). Yes fair point OSI is focused on open source development method and not free, but to me the end goal is similar wrt giving software access to all and ending usurious monopolies.

Open Source will only change the monopoly rules, Free Software will destroy the game.
