I also don't approve of the wasteful short lifecycles, however I don't think they are only caused by device drivers being closed source. People want to buy new devices, not only because of the outdated software, but also because the hardware has improved so much in the last years, and because they enjoy buying.

That is absolutely true, especially in "western" richer countries, but don't forget other poorer places where most people don't feel the need to get the latest gimmick to climb the social ladder by impressing friends, but rather to communicate in the cheapest possible way.
