I see a "top-down" approach, actually.

Government and public services change to (ideally) open source, and "impose"/"require" downstream compatibility.

This would create the incentive and make change easier

Yeah "all bids for government contracts must" is a really powerful sword.

It pushes money into the market, creates skills and business and, crucially can look beyond quarterly profits (for better or worse).
