Nix/Nixpkgs blocks unfree packages by default, so I presume it would be relatively easy to disable packages with the `unFree` attribute.

It's the pragmatic thing. I wouldn't use nixOS if I wasn't able to use it on a 16 core modern desktop. I don't think there's a performant and 100% FLOSS compatible computer that wouldn't make me want to gouge my eyes out with a rusty spoon when building stuff for ARM.
