Even if they didn't provide signed firmware, they wouldn't be actively resisting anything. Actively resisting would require them to take actions to block developers from creating an open source driver. But as you admit: not only did they not actively resist, they actively helped out by providing something that they were under no obligation to provide. I don't think you have a clear understanding of what "the worst" and "actively" means. It's fine to be disappointed with a company deciding not to support open source in a way you'd like. But let's not go overboard with hyperbole? Have you ever complained about Microsoft not open sourcing the Office suite? About Oracle not open sourcing their crown jewels? About Apple not open sourcing iOS? About Broadcom not open sourcing the RPi drivers? And a million other companies, large and small, not open sourcing their money making products?
