It is wrong to pick up *some* inconveniences (and even negative aspects) and call the license non-free. Correct way is to sum up all pros and cons for the majority of people on the long terms.

I'm asking again: where do you set the limit?

Let's imagine infinite scale with absolute freedom(liberty) on one side and absolute non-freedom on another. The border between free and non-free will be at 0.

I still wonder why people with the same ardour and consistency do not speak about distribution of software in the non-free section? Why Debian distributes non-free?

Because there are valuable non-free software. Such as the FSF manuals.

Do, you think that Debian will lost its value without non-free software?

If it's COOL, it's good enough for Debian? ;)
