So in you opinion Debian looks bad to the users, since it does not
come with built-in firmware blobs in the default installer? If I had
to choose between making a few users more happy (as Ubuntu tried to
do) and adhering to a principled and motivated policy, I would go for
the latter.

Again, please don't forget that a lot of crap has been pushed forward
"because the average user could find it useful". The only problem I
have here is that I can't find anywhere a definition of what an
"average user" looks like...
