Yes, this is a very valid point. If more and more packages are punted to non-free, non-free will certainly gain acceptance, especially if non-free suddenly starts to include works released by the Free Software Foundation. If we end up with a main distribution which only contains software licensed under the three-clause BSD license for which source code is mostly available, there's no longer a point in having a non-free section.
