I think he needs to work with HW manufacturers and chip designers/manufacturers to get drivers.
They’re always going to have some proprietary HW and FW and communication protocols somewhere in their stuff.
I think if he pisses them off too much he has to to bit-bash or reverse engineer all drivers for loads of stuff - which is never going to happen.

Linux would need overwhelming market share in the consumer end to force chip makers to play, whether they like it or not.
Windows might be finally doing a bad enough job again, to drive Linux adoption, but it’s hard to tell if that’s just Lemmy talking.
