I don't believe anyone objects to people who are interested in non-free drivers working on making them less painfull to install (so long as people are warned that they are installing non-free drivers.) The objection is making it a priority over supporting free drivers or diverting people working on supporting vendors who provide DFSG free drivers by making it a distribution wide priority. Since you appear to be interested in it quite a bit, you'd be well served by making it your priority.
