Because there are people who don't use (much) proprietary software and still want to benefit from Arch. We are not only a free distribution but I think its a nice addition to have free kernels available. Also another kernel maintainer can make the normal kernel testing faster than it is now. I appreciate the work on free software and we should give users the freedom of choice.
