in my opinion, if you were really anti-unfree software you would be more opposed to firmware that's not loaded from the OS because it's harder to change.

instead you consider such firmware acceptable and claim that you would be happy if all devices worked that way.

to the extent that your fussing has an effect it's as likely to drive vendors to make the firmware more fixed as it is to get them to open the source. and I defiantly consider the move from a firmware blob loaded by the OS to a firmware blob that requires more effort to change a step in the wrong direction.
