No, it's the same with every distro.
Distro maintainers CAN'T support repos containing non-free packages with security fixes.
Because they can't fix security issues in the code.
Because the code is not free for them to edit.

This entire criticism just shows a lack of understanding of how distros work, and what security updates are.

Ubuntu Universe does not have licensing issues. Ubuntu's nonfree repository is Multiverse. Universe is just the community- as opposed to project-maintained one

Same thing applies.
The AUR doesn't get security updates from Arch,
RPM Fusion doesn't get security updates from Fedora,
Packman doesn't get security updates from OpenSUSE,
and Slackbuilds/Alienbob don't get security updates from Slackware.

woelk did make a good point that based on submission processes, Fedora Main is basically their equivalent of Ubuntu Universe, though.
