What could work well is forcing manufacturers to release hardware documentation that is sufficiently detailed to allow developing drivers without reverse engineering. Perhaps forcing them to do so a couple of years after hardware release, so that it does not interfere too much with trade secrets. This would avoid perfectly functional hardware to go to the landfill because of no further software support, and it would also prevent incredibly time-consuming reverse engineering efforts.
