ARM chips come with closed source android drivers because those bring money. That's that. If you think GNU/Linux "victory" would be about making money, you'd be sorely mistaking (or else, you can go the ubuntu way and beg for donations, include proprietary apps, track users, and wonder where you failed)
Who said anything about money? GNU/Linux is about freedom. In most of these new devices you can't run GNU/Linux without a lot of work, because there are no driver, leaving you with no freedom.
