I think it would be better if the chips can be in-house only, but hackitoshes and hackiniphones have to be legal. The OS/userland interfaces are incalculably wider so those are the more important ones to disembargo to encourage competition.

I know I would be much happier buying Apple hardware to run free software if I didn't feel like I was feeding the walled garden (because Samsung-made hackiniphones don't pay 30% to apple).
