I do not know any example of abusing the openness. Maybe there are some examples of abusing semi-openness, kind of Android, where the open kernel is using for obtaining lots of user data for gaining some profit. This example is interesting because deGoogle-ing Android has a cost of impossibility to install some bank apps - but this is the problem of certain bank's useds who do not care on non-free bank software.
