Freedom of choice comes from the user never being locked into some
application, and being able to switch to and from apps at will.

Now, you may need to be able to code to convert some format, but you're
always allowed to do that with Free Software.

What 'Freedom of Choice' is not is someone doing something because you
think it should be done.

Offer a bounty for that feature or some code, or even a fork of
Evolution, (if you simply can't convice the developers by your prett
eyes alone) but please calm down with your histeria.
