I feel like I must be misreading something, because your second paragraph appears to me to be the doublespeak you claim to dislike.
The problem with "free software" fundamentalists is they care more about the freedom of the software than the freedom of the user. Part of free choice from a user perspective is the freedom to run proprietary blobs. Also when it comes to freedom to run or not run proprietary software there is no such thing as a wrong choice, just a personal choice. I would prefer you not force your freedom on me, so that I can be free to do as I please.

Part of free choice from a user perspective is the freedom to run proprietary blobs. No one is removing the freedom to use blobs. You can use them on PureOS, too (and I did). The difference is you will not run into proprietary software by mistake (which is possible on Debian). > Also when it comes to freedom to run or not run proprietary software there is no such thing as a wrong choice, just a personal choice. Most users never heard about free software and do not make a choice, just use whatever is installed. This is exactly how you make a wrong choice: unknowingly.
