And religion to quote Dune is what happens when faith meets politics.

Bingo - the kernel project works by keeping everyone happy. So you fix the
firmware problem by making the embedded people happy (don't waste ram),
the developers happy (stop mucking up my git tree), the vendors happy (we
can ship firmware update packages sanely) the end users happy (better
performance, not noticing the change) and the free software extremists happy
("I don't install proprietary firmware"). You don't make progress by making
them all hate you.
