I doubt that RMS used any proprietary software packages on his Debian system. At that time one could use Debian without running non-free software. Anyway.
The point is not whether you personally would use proprietary software on your phone, but whether FSFE will distribute non-free software to users. This is a very bad (and sad) example. It looks like it's not so unethical to distribute non-free software. Any vendor can point to FSFE and say: "Even FSFE distributes non-free software, so why don't we?"
