Until/unless people start writing their own operating systems, developing their own hardware again and educating Congress to force interoperability AND SECURITY standards, this will definitely remain a Thing.
[ There is a pervasive feeling, dating back to the late 1970s, that engineers are not business people/risk takers and have therefore volunteered for a safer, but financially asymmetrical, symbiotic relationship with the platform OEM (and are history if they "get in the way" --much like the plant watering person who pulls up out front in a van and maybe spills some water on the floor while servicing the geraniums in the boardroom). The conflict, of course, is that many engineers aspire to be business people/risk takers and rarely understand why the platform OEMs won't directly support their efforts. ]
