Here's a good thought exercise to help visualize the situation: imagine if Intel had insisted on keeping the x86 instruction set closed and undocumented, and, furthermore, that they had succeeded in doing so. For 30 years we've had nothing but proprietary Intel compilers. How much would life suck? How far behind would we be?
