Robert Storey does have a vlid point. In my opinion Steve Litt does not.
Robert Storey laments the lack of WiFi connectivity support in "the
installation program for Devuan Beta2", not the lack of proprietary drivers
or firmware to drive some wifi card or dongle he has.

Yes. But one thing is the lack of dhcp client and wpa_supplicant and
wpa_gui/wicd in the install media, another thing is the lack of proprietary
drivers. Nowhere in Robert Storey's email did I read any mention of specific
hardware support missing due to the lack of proprietary drivers.
