You are making a false comparison and mis-representing his logic.
In one situation the package is clearly non-free. It is good for only one thing, installing a non-free program. If you are committed to only using free software the package is of no use to you. If you reject non-free software your solution is simple. Delete it.
In the other disconnecting the internet is not a true comparison. Yes, the internet can be used to install non-free software and look up those instructions. However there are plenty of websites which do distribute free software. I can use the internet for those good purposes as well. So in this case a person who is committed to using only free software can just avoid the sites that supply non-free software and only download software from sites that provide free software (e.g. trisquel, gnu, ect.)
