Nicole Faerber has addressed this topic a few times and she does not personally agree with the FSF’s stance, at least at the time of writing.

I agree with Nicole too, but from a much more recent post.

Of course! And that’s exactly what we are doing since 2014. But we can only do so much and the availability of chips on the market is what limits us, so at some point we have to choose, either go out of business or do some compromise, as little as possible, but still failing to reach the final goal. We need to make money to be able to invest in more open development so at some point we have to bite the bullet and look for the smallest evil. Take the Librem5 as an example. We really tried supe…

I do not place much value in the FSF and its RYF certification: while the ideals behind them are admirable, they are not doing anything towards liberating firmware or hardware; their future heavily relies on refurbished/used products. In contrast, Purism has made efforts to neutralize/disable Intel ME and worked on PureBoot across their Librem laptops/tablet; firmware development and reverse-engineering are the main reasons why I chose to financially support Purism moreso than any other organization.
