Free hardware can mitigate this, although not fix it.  For example,
having a base phone design which is well understood and well 
documented,
will reduce the work required for implementing new features through a
new design.  Having a family of closely-related free phone designs 
would
provide a pool of easily accessible material from which new designs can
be derived.
