I’m confused. Who’s the target audience of this post? Anyone strictly adhering to FSF recommendations is most likely not a for profit business, and therefore probably doesn’t give a care about spectre or meltdown, for example. I for one add mitigations=off to all my personal systems boot flags.

Although small, FLOSS supporters are severely underserved. I think it is possible to use the certification as a means to profit. Even if only for a few products or to get a good image among a faithful group. The sites listed selling ryf-certified devices are certainly benefitting commercially from that.

I'd say the invisible hand is getting it right here. FLOSS advocates are the worst kind of customer -- both frugal and sententious.
