Firmware replacements tend not to be great use cases for distro
packaging, you would need to do different builds for every bit of
hardware that needs to be supported, also a lot of people want
different features/branches/usecases for each piece of hardware. Also
you tend to need to have the pieces on another piece of hardware to
flash it to the target device so it means it's not your usual "dnf
install/upgrade" sort of target.

It might make sense to package the tools provided by coreboot to make
it easier to flash firmwares but even then I feel it provides limited
value.
