that's a fair position. Personally I like the fact that it's so easy to put in a modified 'BIOS' version and while I don't _like_ the fact that the boot partition needs to be FAT, it doesn't really bother me much.
They've already had several updates for the initialization blob, and more are expected (to enable the camera and display ports on the card)
But for people who would rather have such blobs in built-in flash or ROM rather than on the SD card flash that you boot from, I can see how the Pi would not fit your requirements.

by the way, you can also write your own boot blob. There are people running the Pi hardware with their own OS developed from scratch who don't use the Pi boot blob. They aren't running Linux, and are little more than 'hello world' OSs, but it's being done.
