Yeah, very few actually contribute. Hopefully if this catches on the EU can do something to encourge this.
EU has shown a willingness to enact legislation to force tech companies to behave, for example by forcing USB-C standard ports for charging in order to reduce e-waste, the GDPR which protects privacy and and right to repair law so manufacturers don't use shady tactics to ensure that they're the only source of repair and replacement for their hardware.
