I think you mean "private software" which is only used by yorself, and not shared to anyone, not even co-workers. Once you share it at least with someone, it ought to be free/libre because it's no longer "private".
My understanding of 'private' is not so much 'secret' as you have expressed here - but more like: 'subject to private property rights' which are distributed/published, *privately*.
If you are suggesting that I ought to be legally and morally obliged to share all the software I produce under a FS license then that version of freedom isn't the version I would fight for. Freedom without autonomy is totalitarianism.
with respect.
