I’ve always thought of “blob” in yerms of ot being opaque and hard to understand, like a blob of putty with little structure you can dig into to get at it, you just have to take it as one solid barely understandable mass to use it.
The term has both meanings. I believe the poster is implying that a lot of these proponents of GrapheneOS or other custom ROMS are really deluding themselves into thinking they are running open source, private OSes on their phones. All of the important phone code are in these large closed source opaque blobs, there is really no truly OSS or private option on Android phones and there will likely not be any until Linux phones come along.
Ah yes, binary binary large objects
