Do you have a problem seeing that losing the ability of reporting
non-free bugs via the BTS will be a loss for the users? Debian isn't
for developers only.

Debian _is_ supporting Free Software. You don't support Free Software
by throwing non-free out, thus leaving people without an SSL-capable
web browser.
Without non-free, Debian degenerates to a freak-only distribution,
people will laugh at us. And it won't do Free Software any favor since
everybody will turn to commercially maintained distributions.
