I can accept this sentiment. We should remove the exception for non-free content being allowed under fair use.

Sure, but at the same time we should acknowledge that an encyclopedia article that is legal to copy, distribute, improve, and translate, for any purpose (including commercial ones), in the vast majority of the world, is "free enough", even if the pictures can't be cut out and put in your car commercial. IOW, some fair use can be allowed while the work remains free.
