It *does* include non-free software. I guess you mean it doesn't include a proprietary program on top of the kernel and that's right.
Clearly, the amount of proprietary code included in tails is very small.
But who is using tails? People who really want to stay anonymous, and some of them even _need_ to stay anonymous.
Are those people gonna say "ah come on, a tiny bit doesn't matter anyway?".

However, maybe it's ok for those people to use tails with hardware that doesn't depend on non-free binary blobs. Afaik in that case, the proprietary code will just lie on the hard disk and not get executed.
But how can one be sure?
I wouldn't rely on that.

If i really needed reliable anonymity, I guess i would go with a gluglug + trisquel on a usb stick + tor browser bundle.
