What you need to solve this is to either make a structural change in the market (produce the product cheaper, sell via a different channel, etc - often both because you find the channel "expects" the product it already has) to make something affordable that previously wasn't.

Or, you need to find an under/un-served market with a use case that is just not currently possible for them. This is a poorly paraphrased version of The Innovators Dilemma / Solution. But something which we've been wrestling with.

I disagree, we got them to host LVFS. I think they would do it if they were sufficiently motivated and there was inner awareness of the risk for the whole org in a hypothetical demise of the Linux desktop

But desktop is not a driver. It fills a niche, but not something they push. Which I would like to understand.. They practically give away the workstation licenses, or so I've heard.
