Claiming that we need to address them without providing a good way to 
solve that while not compromising on our principles is not a solution. 
If you have a good way to enhance the desktop experience without 
including or supporting non-free software, feel free to suggest that.

Its also important to recognize that non-free software often has 
practical limitations of not being ported across all the architectures 
that Fedora supports and we dont have a good way to fix problems that 
arise out of it.
