The tension is rising. Waiting for the first open source operating systems to sell their soul for a lot of money. Imagine Red Hat and Ubuntu taking government money to introduce the mandated standards. It wouldn't surprise me at all. The "enterprise" aiming distributions don't care and will try to eliminate competition with it. "They don't want age verification? That's nice..."
Sure, that's possible. It is hard to say no to contributions that come with financial strings attached. I wouldn't expect anything like that to be a likely outcome. I mean, it's likely going to come down to a few outcomes and the one least likely to fill dockets for years to come is most likely to occur. So, if it's ownership for the owners of the program that generates slop or the ownership goes to project devs who knows. But ownership is going to be decided at some point. Commercial software isn't a charity.
What I expect is that it's going to be in hardware. AI and age verification, and a few other recent OS-related implementations are all about the same goal: create an anvironment in software that is 100% abstracted from the hardware to seize the highest authority, beyond the physical user of the computer. Phone systems are already done in the factory. You can't run anything else than Android or iOS and you can't exit the system to metal level. The "keyboard" is a user-level program. It's no wired keyboard like USB on a PC. This is going to end too. The last real admin permissions on a consumer computer. Everything ruled by companies.
