Not including the proprietary WiFi blobs incentivizes people to start buying freedom respecting ones instead.

If you include the nonfree drivers by default or make them easy to install you do not incentivize hardware manufacturers to release their drivers as free software.

Imagine if you will if all major distros such as Debian, Fedora, etc. stopped shipping these nonfree drivers.

Hardware companies that want their drivers to be included on these operating systems will now have to start releasing them as free software now!
