The one thing that gives me hope is the pendulum of open->closed->open has swung back and forth so many times now that even as depressing as current trends may be, I'm confident things will swing back again.
Not sure when, but I'm certain it will.
It is one of those strange things, the more closed things become, the greater the incentive is to open them back up again.
The hacker ethic is still out there, just this recent boom has dulled it a bit. A steady diet of locked down computing will fix that.
