The firmware is not open source, that's entirely untrue. There is nothing open source about the firmware on peripherals or the firmware on the SoC. The only thing that's open source is the late boot chain and OS. It would be nice if people would stop spreading dishonest claims.

Not only that, but they've gone out of their way to turn the proprietary firmware into a black box that's much harder to inspect than other devices and cannot receive crucial security updates. They've taken the opposite path of opening it up, but rather have made it more closed.

The reason for that is their attempt at gaming / manipulating the FSF RYF standard, since it considers proprietary firmware fine as long as it's not possible to update it, which is incredibly stupid. It's crucial to provide full security updates and they've prevented doing that.

I'd like for people to point to one hardware component inside it with open hardware or firmware. A board schematic with a bunch of proprietary black boxes on it isn't meaningfully open hardware and I'm curious if people can even link to one, since I don't see anything at all.
