Sonic values Freedom. That is Sonic's primary value. Freedom, based on my interpretation of what Sonic means by it, is a lack of responsibility/duty/etc... Therefore, if Sonic values freedom above all, he values the lack of things to give others.
That is to say: Freedom is sort of a monetary currency that you can exchange for things that others value in you. If you have a lot of freedom, you can do a lot of things for yourself, usually hedonistic things that fulfill your primal carnal desires. If you exchange freedom for responsibilities, however, you can do things for others, like having children, contributing to society with a job, helping others, among other things. These things are usually associated with fulfillment instead of hedonistic pleasures.
Since Sonic prefers to hoard freedom instead of exchanging it for anything, he will never have any fulfillment OR things that he can offer to others other than his nature-given powers. Thus, the only way Sonic can help others is through extremely contrived scenarios where he can use his unearned powers and shallow advice. Put him in any other situation and just see how much of a useless, ignorant person he is.
"Hey Sonic, can you help me make this recipe?" "Oh, sorry, I never learned how to cook since I'm always just running around having fun"
"Hey Sonic, can you do me this favor?" "Nah, that's too boring, do it yourself"
"Hey Sonic, this and that happened yesterday. What should I do?" "I dunno, do whatever you want".
I assume Sparky would solve this by making Sonic even more contrived and having him get hedonistic pleasure from doing things that are normally considered boring, and thus requiring a sense of duty to do. Sonic has absolutely fucking nothing and the world has to bend itself so that he has something to offer anyone.
Truly, Windnic is empty. The ideology of convenience...
This doesn't even take into account that you can sacrifice freedom momentarily to have MORE freedom later.

If Sparky thinks it's the coolest thing ever, then it must be the lamest thing ever. I'll make sure to give it a read.
