1. It's the other way around: because people don't care that much, that's why there is almost exclusively proprietary hardware around.

2. The people who require the "higher grades" of being open source are simply not a large enough market

3. Being open source is not a natural advantage of a product, in fact, it's more of a risk, liability, responsibility, and effort than being proprietary.

Hence, proprietary is the default.
