I would say no. Some years ago (2012) I was somewhat hopeful. I attended a conference hosted by "Friprog senteret" (Free software center) called GoOpen. "Fripro senteret" was a small but very effective organization that got great publicity (the crown prince held a speech together with the Wikipedia founder etc.), and in general open source and open standards seemed to something people cared about, at least when informed about problems of lock-in etc.
A few years later (2014) Friprog-senteret was de-funded, and it just seems like the whole society drifted towards convenience over privacy/ethics etc.
