I've read the thread just fine.

>If you'd have told me the FCC was bullying makers not to share source
That wouldn't be the truth.
The FCC is bullying manufacturers into implementing digital handcuffs, but they don't specifically mandate that the wireless firmware is proprietary.

Sure the FCC is encouraging proprietary wireless firmware, but every single 802.11ac and 802.11ax wireless chipset manufacturer made the decision to do that from the start all by themselves and that would be the same if the FCC was to no longer exist.

Sharing source? Is that a line from the "open source" infidels about "sharing" proprietary software?

>rather than belittle me for thinking about this
I'm asking questions, the only person being belittled is you belittling yourself, as you won't give me honest answers.
