Suits aren't evil. I mean I'm they aren't good either, but all they care about is money. They push for closed because that is where the money is, but they have no resolve on anything. Law makers either try and follow experts or money.
To the extent either believe anything, they believe the IP lie and thus don't see the tragedy of the commons they advocate.
Open however has passion, and is technically correct. (The best kind of correct.)
Little by little, we'll keep winning out. Right to repair is an important front, but so is digital rights, privacy and competition.
They don't care about being bad or good. They just care about money. Change what makes money and they change. There is no resolve. Along with changes happening I listed before, one big thing we need do is bring environmental cost on to the balancesheet. At the moment it's all external costs. Move the costs of items disposal on to the up front cost. Scale it by item's life time. Incentivize better behavior.
The point is that they are malleable.
