I agree though, that here is no place to be advocating non-free software in any way, shape, or form.
You started the same post with "I see no problem with recommending Debian with proprietary firmware to people who have (alas) purchased devices incompatible with solely free software.". So apparently you're okay with recommending non-free software here because you value the convenience of using hardware the user has instead of getting hardware one can operate sufficiently well with only free software.
