"But Intel is making everything closed source. We want free access to their firmware source code. We've been pushing x86 to become the most popular architecture ignoring that it's 100% proprietary and now complain that we don't have open hardware."
Well, yes? Isn't that just what I meant? Some people cared about libre operating systems, so (a few decades back) they started GNU. Some people cared about open hardware, so they went to start projects like openpower. Perhaps some day, some people care about browsers again, but right now, it's just seemingly “20 Google devs, and 1 maintainer per distro”. That reminds me. Geminispace[1]! It is the embodient of people who are not just fed up with the complexity of browsers (more like operating systems already) and documents alike. [1] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gemini_(protocol)
