I’m speaking about the firmware and other blobs that are there because devices wouldn’t work without it.

This is optional, some distros even have a deblobbed kernel in repos. I believe arch does (linux-libre), guix. Debian used to ship without proprietary firmware by default but there’s since version 12 IIRC. It’s perfectly doable if you have the right hardware.
