The main question I have, and this is an honest question, is why Purism
chose to use the x86 platform as a base for libre hardware, when it has
been known for some time that said hardware could never be made fully
blob-free?

There were (and are) other good ways to make a system that could be
fully blob-free, for instance ARM, and given the engineering effort that
is said to have been put into the Purism machines I wonder what we could
have had if said effort had been put into an aarch64 system instead of
an x86 system?
