I have read your comments as well and still don't understand what you want
to explain. I think it would be more productive to spend the time to write
real sentences and detailed explanations. Right now you're only in the
"no thanks" mode and it's very hard to understand your concerns.

You can't blame people for not understanding you when you are the one who
has difficulties explaining basic things in public.

But for runtime to work, you need to boot at least once. The concern here
is to get it to boot the first time, and for this, extracting the binary
blob is needed.
