Is it really that hard to install the firmware before you start?

Nothing about the computer breaks by not installing it (just no more display).

Plug another display into the VGA port, install the firmware update, then update to OS X and there's no problem.

Stop being so melodramatic. You ought to be glad that Apple happily supports old technology instead of taking the Windows route and insisting on higher and higher specs.
