blobs are closed source drivers, executable software that runs on the host CPU.

openbsd has no blobs, only firmware, executable software that runs on the device chip. It still sucks, but there is a difference.

Not everyone defines the words that way. And by your definition— Linux doesn’t have blobs, either, in mainline.

(Microcode, I guess, is one other category)
