I don't know about this. Google glass and Android, while not stellar platforms for the tinker, have been open enough to allow FOSS to trickle in around the cracks, leading to things like Cyanogenmod or the 4 FOSS phone platforms (tizen / sailfish / ubuntu phone / firefox os). I think those will keep open platforms for general computing a thing, even when businesses desperately want people using locked down platforms accessing cloud storage and server side applications to maximize their influence.
