A SSD has it's own processor and firmware, and that's always non-free so
far I know.
The CPU has its own firmware, too. It even needs updates sometimes.
Why doesn't it matter there?
I know the microcode is for correcting bugs in the CPU firmware, but it
could be used for something else. So I don't like it.
Everything you can do in software, you can do in hardware.
It's only less flexible.
With loadable firmware it becomes flexible.
CPUs are able to betraying you whether you load the microcode update or
not.
