Particularly in installer the dialog about availability of non-free network driver is significant for project's survival because without it user would have to retreat to less free operating systems which would be a disservice to our users - a something we can easily consider to be harmful to the project. We're still committed to protect freedoms when we can.

Not providing nonfree software in Debian would not be censoring it. As you showed with your printer example, you downloaded your driver from the HP website.
