It would be interesting if companies had the legal obligation to fully open-source any software associated with hardware that they'd EOLed or abandoned. Not only could interested parties take up the cause of continuing support, but because the OEM would know that its hack-ridden source code would eventually be published, it might have an incentive to write better software to begin with. This might not be practical because the OEM couldn't include source to third-party components that aren't EOLed. But it would be a start.
