You hit it with "they shouldn't be writing software at all, they should be publishing spec". I've been wanting to roll my own board for a long time (not the hardware, the boot and os side) but haven't outside of a raspi or arduino. I'd LOVE to be able to write my own motherboard code to have a better boot experience (somewhere between Apple Mac's and uSplash Linux) that's fast to user-land. There have been some companies that recently announced this kind of approach (at least with linux) but overall, we need our computer industry to be more open, we need more accountability of shady practices (exfiltrations!) and modern laws to allow people to protect themselves from these corporations that mean to steal our data.
