I hope you enjoy secret proprietary blobs in RYF hardware.
RYF certification decreases freedom, it doesn't increase it. The qualification for RYF is that the user not be able to see any blobs, not that they don't exist. As a result, manufacturers hide and bury the blobs in order to achieve compliance. Meanwhile, more open devices with optional replaceable blobs are denied certification.
