It should be, and I would not accept funding from companies which
restrict users' freedom such as Microsoft or Google (if they did so),
as that makes FSF to a degree corrupted.

There is no heavenly way that such act of accepting donation from
companies they fight against does not influence those who work in FSF.

I get the point.

Exactly. There shall be defense, in reality, there is enough money in
the FSF that they can hire a lawyer or mediators to peacefully solve
conflicts.
