Sure, but there currently is no company "Y" that is out helping the consumer out of goodness. None apparently see a way to make such a service work$. Open source would be great for some, but many(most?) want a sealed, easy to obtain and install solution, including hardware. Some will build their own systems from old hardware, etc., find, install and tweak open source software, but they(we) seem to be the minority
Linux is a wonderful product, even Apples are fine, but the market decided to go Microsoft for now. Why?
The market will give people what they demand, unfortunately most consumers don't always make wise decisions.
