Depends on the human defining where the goalpost is, what their threat model is and their philosophy etc. There are certainly folks who want open basebands enough to work on them, for example there are folks working on porting the Osmocom baseband codebase to Mediatek based phones.

Want and need are different. If you don't have a phone now, you might wait for an open baseband. If you have a a closed phone now, it's silly to wait.
