  Possible, but doubtful. For ages the default state of software was closed-source, and yet the desire to share and be free did not dry up. People yearn for freedom, and in its absence they will make it, but mildly-comfortable half-solutions have a great way of defusing movements. But slowly the pool of exploits will dry up, either because we stop using C or because we finally figure out a way to write C securely, and we'll find ourselves decades behind at the necessary task of producing hardware that is open by design rather than open by accident.
