Nobody here is blaming *BSD for not supporting closed hardware: it's a huge effort whose failures are entirely on manufacturers' stubborn refusal to cooperate with anyone that isn't a corporation. Unfortunately that's the reality we must live in today. The point is that Joe User doesn't give a damn about installing closed blobs that can't be examined nor updated, he wants his machine to work, and if it doesn't, he blames the software while switching to something that supports his hardware.
