This is an odd claim since it's completely possible today and has always has been.

Each Bluesky Relay and PDS host has endpoints that anyone can use to receive network data (post/like records, etc) in a totally permissionless way.

A Relay:

    websocat wss://bsky.network/xrpc/com.atproto.sync.subscribeRepos

A PDS

    websocat wss://puffball.us-east.host.bsky.network/xrpc/com.atproto.sync.subscribeRepos

And there are additional sync methods as well for doing backfill, etc. Not sure how this could be more open.
