> Sounds like my personal libre-tized version of Devuan with jxself's Linux-libre installed and all non-free repos and firmware and microcode and firefox removed (and anything else recommended by vrms) is a lot more free than PureOS.

Not sure I'd say "a lot more". Firefox is still presumably installable on your system. Purism excludes microcode by default too (it's available in Purism's [non-free repo][1], but this repo is not enabled by default). Of course, the big difference is that your personal setup is your own personal setup. You are a user with enough knowledge to avoid non-free things for yourself, so the fact that they are installable does not impact your freedom, and you are not seeking FSF endorsement for your personal setup as something to distribute to others.
