Sourcing on this page
As far as I can tell, every single source on this page, with the exception of #10, is associated with open-source developers. This makes it pretty hard for the article to present the topic neutrally, as its sources are not independent.

Firmwares are not considered blobs and can be shipped with the base system (provided their license allows free redistribution). Firmwares execute on the device itself, meaning they are not tied to a particular OS, while blobs execute on the host CPU, most of the time inside the kernel.
