Supporting non-free software is any manner is a explicit non-objective.

We all know that the real objective of fedora is to get a lot of users
to do the beta testing on what will be the next RHEL after which they
quickly stop supporting those tested versions and move on. Maybe they
get enough testers without having to be bothered making it convenient
for nvidia, vmware, etc. users.
Promoting Free and open source software is a well recognized objective
of Fedora. You might choose to ignore it and insert your own
perspective. Doesn't change the fact that Fedora isn't interested in
supporting proprietary software.
There's a big difference in 'supporting' proprietary software and
shooting the feet out from under your own users that depend on it.
