> why would they ever release a hardware WITH that blob on ROM?
because the FSF will say that their device is Free if they do so, but won't if they don't.
for some segment of users, this is significant, and manufacturers aiming for such users (which most don't) would like to make their buyers happy.
The Raspberry Pi team mentioned the possibility of making a version that had the firmware in ROM, specifically to satisfy such users.
