If you as a user want third-party firmware usually you can jailbreak and install it yourself (especially if the original firmware has zero security). If we allow a vendor to choose to make "the community" responsible for their firmware, almost every vendor will choose that as quickly as possible (e.g. one year).

If you leave capitalism unchecked it will fuck you as hard as any other system.
