Maybe they, or someone like them, could sell more hardware if they "let go"
of the software? (They'd certainly sell one to me). And that's how they
actually
make their money, right? By making hardware and selling it to people?

Audio-related examples might include things like:
Making a multi effects rack unit with pro-audio i/o, a heap of DSP
power, front panel display and controls, and filling it with the
pick of the available open source algorithms and/or making it
possible for people to compile and load whatever algorithms they
need into it.
Like the soundart chamelon http://www.soundart-hot.com/
I've considered buying one a few times, but theres no supplied linux SDK,
and I'm not desperatly fond of assembler, even DSP assembler which is
comparativly nice.
