Sometimes that may require some non-free parts.
This is incoherent.
That's life. The

When a friend has made a bad buy, why won't you advise him to make a
better buy? I've been told that at least in the US it's quite easy to
return the card, and a perfectly reasonable reason is that there's no
support for Free Software from that vendor and that you weren't
knowledgeable of that in the first place.
