Indeed. Its down to
Profit = (units * margin) - overhead
and the folks who decide "overhead" arent the programmers but the management.
The folks who say "you have two weeks allocated to write this driver, then
we ship it" are the folks to take the issue up with, and that goes source
or binaries.
The difference with a bad source driver is people can fix it (doesnt alter
the overhead figure) on their own time/expense.
