What's so great about Debian is that they aim for a blob-free system, unlike those commercial "money" enterprises you speak of, that's what.

The blobs found in those commercial editions of Linux you speak of mean you're technically no better off than using MacOS or Windows. Hidden binaries are no different to protected code, they can both do stuff you're not aware of.  The problem with getting a blob-free distro is that is hinders compatibility, but that's something the Debian project are working especially hard on, to create a system without blobs that is also compatible with the maximum amount of hardware out there.

Again, you're spitting in the face of efforts that are there to protect you, and favouring corporate activity in place of it, just as those people do when they finally decide to move to Linux and do something stupid like choosing Ubuntu instead of Debian.  The difference in philosophy between those two projects could not be any greater.

One of them is a rightly regarded as a disgrace to the Linux community (Ubuntu), and the other has the respect it deserves (Debian).
