idk, i didn't even know it didn't until just now.
with gentoo it makes sense why they'd want it, since that's all about granular customisation. i use saved-config with linux-firmware to have it include literally only the individual firmware files my system needs (even more fine-grained than arch's new split packages)
sys-kernel/linux-firmware: 65 files (64 unique), 20 non-files, 4.5M
