Freemium is flawed because most people don’t need more features than what they can use for free.
I guess wholesale stores like Costco and Sams club are flawed because people don't need more food than what they can get at a cheaper unit price. Just like buying groceries wholesale gets you the better deal by virtue of unit price, it's the same with Freemium.
Let's look at BaseCamp. BaseCamp under Mark's logic is a flawed product because no one ever manages more than one project at a time, which is what you are limited to with the free version. It only makes sense to buy in bulk what you can get for free because more often than not, you get more for what you pay for.
I don't think freemium users are missing the point of business, I think Mark Evans is missing the point of business: make money.
