Because Debian does not meet the strict requirements of the FSF. It includes non-free blobs in the kernel and the FSF claims Debian "steers" users with recommendations for installing non-free plugins or codecs. Some "contrib" packages, while free themselves, exist primarily to load separately distributed proprietary programs. There are also references in the Debian documentation and official channels that suggest obtaining non-free software for functionality.

How is web browsing on that system? I see you're using the Mullvad browser. Does is play videos well on that system with such little ram?

This is impressive. Its amazing how well GNU/Linux (Debian in this case) can run on low-ram systems, especially if you don't use systemd.

I think the trick is finding a balance between ignoring it and keeping up with what is happening. Most of the National News is just reports of what terrible thing the White House is doing today. Those reports are unnecessary and time consuming. Don't give into the rage bait. A lot of this is easier said than done but try to find a balance.
