Heck, if only the firmware running on the modem itself was nonfree/proprietary I wouldn't much care, but the drivers and device specifications itself are commonly secret too! Like, they sell a modem and do not tell how it even should be used, just throwing a garbage Android binary blob driver or posting the messy driver to Microsoft developer account and they don't care if anyone else is able to use the devices.
