Going completely open takes a lot of money as you need to do the work yourself. Also it seems [0] that a lot of that work would be illegal in most (all?) countries. Starting to work on opening things up (RiscV cpu + everything that is not illegal/possible to open up, so I guess all but ble+wifi+gsm) opened up and then working with the authorities to open up those would be something I would put money into. Long term all this closed stuff in laptops, phones etc will be bad for many reasons.
