Cheer up Ev. I'm not as skeptical.
To the extent that proprietary products are built on open source building blocks, they can be forked. (See Android.)
To the extent that they are built on standards, they can be accessed. (See Opera on iPhone.)
Who else is going to offer augmentation devices whose primary purpose is display info FOR the user, not datamining the user for the benefit of the device's owner?
I'm bullish about the role of #FOSS here.
