Googles web integrity API is an example of what might happen.
Invidia could pull shit like this processing only “trusted” code from trusted source like steam which might not consider FOSS as trusted.
Don’t get me wrong. I use Linux and I prefer FOSS over paid software.
But recently the gate seems to getting closed slowly. Corps devoting their resources to lobby against FOSS.

That has been a decades long battle. They’ll never win the war.
Microsoft was 100% against Linux 15 years ago. Now there is a Linux subsystem sitting next to the core of the OS.
