This is a most excellent place for technology news and articles.
You are absolutely right we can not make them give us access to drivers but just like with nvidia there are people willing to figure it out. I am not for government oversight but if the manufacturers refuse to offer any help then they may need to step in. The EU has made massive strides towards standardizing manufacturers. I also don't think it would be necessary for the manufacturers to open source their software but its already wrote just release it as closed source so it could be used at the community level.
