The point of GPL, is that even if the vendor stopped supporting, you could fix the device driver by yourself. This is really happening, vendors do sell hardware with broken drivers and make the suers cry out loudly. At the mercy of the vendor. (This has happened and is still happening) This is exactly the whole point about GPL. If you think otherwise, you are just one of the vendors trying to force your hopeless driver to clueless users. So, IMO when someone says binary only modules are the way, i wouldn't bite the line. I don't think this is a religion, but a freedom to use what you want.
