I would disagree. It is not eventualism, but right-now-ism, that leads
people to use an unfree image instead of waiting for a free-licensed
one to appear. It's not eventualism that leads people to decry free,
amateur-produced images as 'not professional enough'.
It's not eventualism that caused people to, for a very long time,
utterly ignore the warning on the image upload page stating quite
clearly that uploading meant placing under the GFDL and not to upload
material you didn't have the rights to. For a very long time, the
image upload page implicitly disallowed fair use images, yet people
chose to ignore that.
