I’d love to hear what people here think of this. I hate proprietary kernel modules, I’m sure most people here do too, so do you think there is legal ground to force proprietary module vendors to release their source code?

What would make anyone think that? No one has to publish their code. If you really want a FLOSS kernel you’ll have to find open replacements for those modules or make them yourself.
Actually, if you distribute a derivative work of a GPL licensed project, you have to release the source code.
