You can apply this argument to every single package in contrib.  

  "If a free driver/datafile/whatever existed, it would be possible to run Foo
  without requiring non-free stuff, therefore it belongs to main"

Is your point that contrib should therefore be empty and has no reason for
existance?

If not, please explain me the difference between ndiswrapper and all the other
packages that belong to contrib and already are in.
