What's with this obsession the FSF has with 'free' software? Canonical is ultimately a business and without making money that business will eventually have to close. Will the FSF hire those developers when that happens?
The benefit of having such a business behind a free OS is too great to fuss about what component of that OS or device is free. That approach is baffling. Who cares if a device driver on my phone is open for me to tinker with? I understand that they take the extreme side very seriously but it feels like they are taking the extreme side for the sake of being extreme. A little pragmatism never hurt anyone.
