Do you really think that manufacturers will give you all source code to the devices they have put in there particular design? because without this there can not be an OS of any kind.

Or are you going to start from scratch with data sheets of every component?.
They, more or less, already do it for Android. If this works out well and adoption starts SOMEWHERE, I would expect that there's no reason not to expect similar support.
