Because it already has a free software browser (Abrowser) which Trisquel's developer maintains (his work includes removing suggestions of non-free add-ons, removing DRM support, and providing a free add-on repository).

Making Iridium completely free would likely also require similar effort (such as maintaining a list of free add-ons and ensuring support for DRM is removed).

>(Abrowser) which Trisquel's developer maintains

That's Icecat.

That's both Abrowser and IceCat.

Also, because there are still questions about whether the Iridium team have successfully removed all proprietary code from upstream. See:
