@Maholmire >inconsistencies of their idealogy
The Free Software Foundation is focused on software, not hardware, as it isn't the Free Hardware Foundation after all, so it is indeed consistent to note that all hardware is inherently proprietary, but that doesn't mean it's a good idea to run proprietary software.

>is also the proprietary software being run from a hardware manufacturer’s CPU
I don't follow.

There's no proprietary *soft*ware running on my CPUs, nor have I loaded up any proprietary microcode software.

Sure the hardware components that make up the CPU are all proprietary in their own way, but that *hard*ware, not software.

ROM and RAM buried in a CPU die are not software, even if the ROM happens to contain executable instructions, as nobody can change it after all.

I would of course prefer to be running GNU/SoC on a fast FGPA programmable in freedom, but that sadly isn't yet feasible.
