A constant thorn in the eye of many Linux kernel developers is the existence of closed-source kernel modules, most notably those by Nvidia and Ati, but also some file system drivers and other elements. Most of the Linux developers have been against these modules ever since they were first used, and in fact, bug reports originating from a tainted kernel are often disregarded and ignored. The kernel developers have now rallied together by issuing a statement urging vendors to release open source Linux kernel modules and drivers.

If that "voting with your money" idea worked, we would be living in a completely different world.
The sad truth is that the majority don't care.

Haven't the majority then given a vote with their money? In case you missed, the answer was: "We don't care!" (or don't known or are too stupid to realize or whatever)

When you buy a printer, you first check the requirements first, if is not designed or intented to work in linux try another printer, simple. But not try to make it work in linux if is not intented for it.
You vote with your money,
