BIOS is not free, firmware in HDD is not free, etc, etc. It's kinda hard to avoid non-free software novadays...

OK, let's put it differently: There is no need to use non-free software, that one can easily avoid, such as Adobe products or Skype etc. Free BIOS replacements exist, but only for certain hardware etc. so I never cared. For periphery firmware I do not care neither. Maybe I should?
