I think it's totally reasonable, from the Debian mindset. Debian is an open-source zero-binary-blob distribution. You have to deliberately choose to install binary blobs, such as driver firmware etc. It is the dismissive response which

Worse than that - undefined behaviour can cause optimization to make your software insecure. http://blog.llvm.org/2011/05/what-every-c-programmer-should-...

I'll give you a counter example. GPU drivers spend a lot of time trying to optimize beneath their corresponding high-level API. This more-or-less equivalent to compiling GPU machine code on the fly based on GPU configuration - that is,

I think the part you quoted was referring to hackintosh machines only. Still, there's no doubt in my mind that Apple are doing some "move fast and break things" OS development.
