No, you are wrong here. First, you're trying to introduce a false

Second, 'non-free' is *always* a bad choice.

Sorry. Couldn't resist. ;-)

I hate binary blobs that are required to get some hardware to work as much
as the next person, but I stop short of saying non-free is *always* a bad choice.

If you think of non-free in terms of Debian non-free, then non-free and proprietary
can be different things. That gets into a whole different hornets nest.
