Would writing to Intel (if only to be counted as one more data point) help at all?
No.
I just ran across an FSF web page in support of LinuxBIOS, and on that page the FSF suggests writing directly to Intel:
http://www.fsf.org/campaigns/supportlinuxbios.html "Send e-mail to Intel, asking them to cooperate with a fully free BIOS. Also send them a snail mail letter at: Intel Corporation 2200 Mission College Blvd. Santa Clara, CA 95052 USA"
If it's the opinion of the LinuxBIOS project that writing to Intel isn't helpful, what else can I and other persons do to put pressure on Intel (and like companies) to get them to release specs on their laptop chipsets and embedded controllers?
If AMD is being much more supportive of the LinuxBIOS project than Intel, what about approaching them? If I'm not mistaken, there are a couple of AMD employees on this mailing list who are (were?) actively engaged in getting LinuxBIOS to work with various AMD chipsets...
