I would love to see a world where all of those things use open source software and hardware. It would take a long time to make it a reality, but I see a path to that where more people are out there today making successful open source hardware systems and learning the parameters of how to fund them and financially maintain development.

Smart TV companies make more money selling behavioral data now than they do selling TVs. Streaming stick companies are the same. Roku basically gives hardware away at cost in exchange for the juicy data streams coming off it (their "how we sell your data" "privacy" policy is a hysterical read, they grant themselves permission to scan your network and report other devices on it should they care to).
