When people create programs/drivers "See, it exists for Linux, no need for manufacturers, it's much better!"

When programs/drivers are missing for Linux "It's the manufacturers you should blame!"

So, which is it now?

We should always blame manufacturers. Either it's manufacturers helping out development by creating decent drivers, or it's manufacturers hiding their documentation so developers have to reverse engineer their chips, which takes way longer. But the focus should always be on the manufacturers, whether for good or bad.
