My boss and I were talking more about how to convince vendors to care about uploading firmware for their devices.
Another suggestion is something like https://github.com/fwupd/fwupd/pull/7219 -- to allow us to collect data to say to the vendor '12,345 Linux users are not getting firmware updates for model ABC' which is a bit more convincing than throwing our hands in the air and mumbling about Linux market-share.
