   One could even argue that if the OS blocks the ability to load proprietary firmware, that means the vendor can no longer coerce the user to do so.

   "You won't be able to watch this Netflix movie unless you update your ME firmware"

   "Well my kernel won't let me do that, so I guess I won't be able to watch this Netflix movie either way"

   IMO this is too contrived.

   It's logically consistent, but I don't think it's useful in practice.
