This is a non-distinguishing distinction. The firmware is realized as
a bunch of cut/missing diodes. So what? Who cares how the firmware
is realized, it's still firmware. It could be realized in Minecraft,
that wouldn't make it any less firmware.

No, IMHO the particular _pattern_ of cut/missing diodes is the
"firmware". The diodes are the ROM, yes. But like a book is a bunch
of pressed tree-pulp, a "novel" is a particular arrangement of
letters. Question is: Is the diode ROM
"firmware"?
Yes.
