I doubt that RMS used any proprietary software packages on his Debian
system.  At that time one could use Debian without running non-free
software.  Anyway.

The point is not whether you personally would use proprietary software
on your phone, but whether FSFE will distribute non-free software to
users.  This is a very bad (and sad) example.  It looks like it's not
so unethical to distribute non-free software.  Any vendor can point to
FSFE and say: "Even FSFE distributes non-free software, so why don't
we?"
