I'm not saying it would be perfect, just saying it isn't quite as bleak as Seegras suggested.
Though in that particular case, I'd say you would be better off taking your problems to WineHQ anyway, as any problem with a windows application in Wine is likely to be 1) independent of distribution, and 2) not really related to the wine packages themselves.
As for your second use-case of the radeon firmware blobs, that would really only work if there was a separate community for the non-free and contrib components (see my other comment about that), in which case getting a canned response about software freedom would be a big hint for non-purists to go looking there instead (while purists could blame the hw and go buy Intel instead).

Yes, and in my case, I would go looking for another distribution.
