You're being hindered by a technical incapability, not from being mistreated.
Of course, the deblobbed Radeon driver isn't unusable as you claim (and it's
an odd claim, since you never mentioned it before). It's just slower.
Actually, my experience has been the opposite, though I'm sure it varies: I
found that the proprietary Radeon driver caused the display to be all messed
up, while the free/libre (deblobbed) Radeon driver is slow, but at least
reliable.
You're spending so much time chastising Linux-libre for not supporting the
blobs, apparently you're not even talking about your actual problems. If your
display is messed up, the first thing you should be trying is updating the
kernel (install the package linux-generic-lts-saucy).

No, no one is stopping or forbidding you from re-blobbing Linux-libre. You
can do it. You're just unwilling to do the work to do it. By this logic, you
don't have the freedom to climb mountains you're unwilling to climb because
we don't have big carrying structures to help you. Get real.
Freedom doesn't mean everyone else caters to you.
