Not sure, but if we just cede at every point there will never be one That is why an open source popular Linux distro like Debian was important, to put pressure on manufacturers Big company need not worry, Debian will now test, maintain and support your closed firmware, making it easy for everyone to use, but working for them for free And especially because recycling is hard for all hardware should be as open and interoperable as possible for us to avoid keep throwing working computer parts in the trash
