I dunno, lots of companies seem pretty happy to build large portions of their business on top of unvetted single-maintainer open source projects. Don't see why

I dunno, lots of companies seem pretty happy to build large portions of their business on top of unvetted single-maintainer open source projects. Don't see why they'd stop doing so now. (Anyway, I don't care so much about what companies go for, as opposed to what I can do on my own devices.)

Exactly my thoughts. My point was targeted more towards consumers who usually don't have a voice in the software/hardware they buy. Reverse engineering, de-vendor locking, and open sourcing the protocol gives us freedom to use the device we purchased however we want, for as long as we want.
