There is something called "Windows OS" if you need everything that just works 😉
And no, having it in EEPROM or ROM is not enough.
As there is a lot of closedsource firmware in PC anyways this kernel is just hiding it under carpet and pretending it does not exists.
Rather have the ability to load latest firmware than to live with broken one in some ROM due to some ideological jihad.

I find the libre kernel worth the tradeoffs. I'm stuck with a closed source firmware anyway but i'd rather one on the hardware that is never going to get worse over one that can be updated at any time from the kernel with updates that may introduce bug fixes but could also introduce nefarious things as well.
