They do now. We have all became acutely aware of Google and Apple having too much power over the mobile ecosystem. Windows Phone 8+ didn't offer any differentiation other than UI design and they were charging for Windows mobile at first. Windows never got the critical mass of apps. It wasn't open source. Microsoft is just another tech giant. But if they piggy backed off the TV market success of WebOS they could have a truly open source alternative to Android that other organizations could have more influence over.
