Member since:  The more I think about it the more it makes sense

developers concentrate on the device software and the APIs
exclusively. Each "client" (Linux, Windows, OSX, Android, iOS,
etc.) could be a separate dev team - its all very orthagonal and
clean, everyone could work fairly independently of each other
and optimize for the target platform extensively.  Some (or all)
of the money generated by hardware sales could be used to fund
bounties or reward top contributors or whatever. The point is
that instead of developers seeing their work pilfered by a
hardware manufacturer they could actually get into the game
themselves and make at least a little money.  I also found this:
