I learned the hard way, by selling proprietary products from a corpo that promised support. Would unironically be better off manufacturing them myself.

Oh absolutely. You're preaching to the choir here. Part of the reason I have a lot of hope around riscv. The processor designs themselves aren't necessarily open source. But with the ISA being open and open source the first to embrace. It "could" foster a new much less proprietary ecosystem.
