you don’t understand. if they make it a law, it will be worse for you, not better, since as a hardware vendor you carry the burden.
you point out the problem we face today: people in open source typically work at big tech and regularly push ideas that end up costing small hw companies a lot of money. for example rust in the kernel. or over complicated frameworks for the sake of security while lots of hardware does not need security. or features that are important for servers and make those default while most hardware is not a server. and so on.
if open source was primarily managed by small company contributors it would look very different.
