The entire gnu software movement was started decades ago already because one guy was fed up with printer firmwares and thought they should be replaced with public diy open source firmware to make the printers actually serve their owners. "it's time" was already forever ago and some serious committed practically religious power devs tried and gave up on it, even while toppling practically all other software ecosystems. Hell even the current locked down user-hostile printers are actually running linux and gnu software. That must be exceedingly galling.
