I doubt pointing fingers will help resolve this problem.

I think this problem should be easy to solve, all it takes is for both
Debian and the FSF to agree that this situation is simply unacceptable,
and then work together to find a solution.

That's a cop out.  Just as is FSF's position that it's Debian's problem.
It means both the FSF and Debian consider the current situation
as acceptable.
