Every other company is free to sponsor FOSS development too. You're saying that like Microsoft and Windows aren't already a defacto monopoly. Charge a FOSS contribution fee instead of the Windows license, done, Linux development sponsored by the manufacturers is solved and they too get to not get steamrolled by Microsoft.
