What's the license of this firmware? Am I wrong saying that if
the license allows it, you could just send a patch to have it integrated
to the linux-firmware repository? Is there any history or documentation
on the topic (please apologize if this is a well known topic, just
answer RTFM if this is the case).

I read a couple of days ago that for example the firmwares for the
various Apple arm64 laptop cannot be redistributed and every single
individual that wants to use those needs to extract those from their
system.

All of that seems just a legal matter, and IANAL ...

Francesco
