Most "open source" developers don't care and rarely do anything of the sort - some of them even shill exploitation methods such as digital handcuffs developed under a "open source" development model, but delivered on hardware that doesn't allow the user to change it via cryptographic signatures - although the source code implementing the handcuffs would be (usually partially) publicly available, that won't do the users who want to make a backup, carry out fair use, or even have a video that just plays without having to need to contact some external server over the internet any good.
Most of the time is it a free software developer that goes and takes any antifeatures out and releases a fixed version and not "open source" aligned ones.
