@todd I worry this would be difficult to push back into Debian simply by hiding them as that would be somewhat of a poor experience for anyone who actually wanted to go ahead and install them. So, I wonder if we should add (or link to) a warning lecture about free software here , somewhat what like I propose in https://bugs.debian.org/888405. Thoughts?

Since the are decidedly not required I think it could move to Debug from Warning (or whatever level is below Warning where this message won't print by default).
Or you could set a non-free flag that PureOS uses to suppress non-free things but Debian ignores.
This could become an OS level config flag even (if you think that big is necessary for future potential issues).
A sort of sudo code (where we could set a avoid_non_free=true flag)
if avoid_non_free:
warn_non_free=false
if kernel_error_on_firmware:
if warn_non_free:
print 'W: maybe missing firmware'
