Yep.

This is a question of philosophy which - as you can see in this thread
- is heavily debated. I think we agree: A system/distro for which
firmware wasn't easily available would remain without significance.

Maybe a non-free branch of the repository might be a solution?

Unfortunately this was one of the decisive criteria my employer decided
to use SuSE instead of Debian.

I'd rather stick with a Devuan that actually can be used in a
professional environment; I think we agree here.

Regards,
Mark
