Is there support for something like A but not enabled by default?
That is, you have to actively select a nōn-default option
More and more graphics adapters now also want firmware uploads to provide any non-basic functions. A simple basic (S)VGA-compatible framebuffer is not enough for most users these days; modern desktops expect 3D acceleration, and a lot of currenthardware will not provide that without extra firmware.
Current generations of common Intel-based laptops also need firmware uploads to make audio work (see the firmware-sof-signed package).

I don't believe so, because that doesn't solve the problem at hand. How >exactly do you select a non-default option if you cannot see or hear it?

You see it in the bootloader, or if not, can append it manually to the
kernel command line so that the initrd and d-i see it both. (I’m willing
to compromise on having early pre-initrd microcode updates always loaded >which would be the one thing we could not easily toggle on/off from the >initrd and/or d-i.)

I wrote where the Reply-To pointed to. Perhaps if that had been
correct…

You've utterly missed Phil's point about people not seeing or hearing
boot options.
Go and read my first mail in the thread for context.
