I think that's more thoughtlessness and ignorance of the free software alternatives, like when people use gmail instead of a free software webmail.
[OT]Could you please mention some of these free software webmail, didn't find many
Seriously, there are a number of different projects which work in different situations: SquirrelMail (a bit ugly, though) and Horde/et al. (which you can run on top of Kolab) are the best known ones.
Comparing SquirrelMail to GMail is a bit unfair, IMHO. GMail offers a web interface, mailserver and hosting. With SquirrelMail (and Horde) you only get the web interface. Hosting is not covered with this solution.
I would compare GMail with other web mail providers, like GMX in Germany or Yahoo!. But I do not know any that offers a web interface (and backend) based on free software.
