I don't see the problem, it's not like they don't have a choice - open up, and have full support on a distro level just like Intel does, or go blob/OEM, when they have to do their own support (and be ranted/cursed to hell when lack of open/well maintained drivers cuts off your users from upgrades). I mean, the way you put it, it turns out Debian is not a distro but an OEM OS...
