It depends on the context of `open`.

Should Apple relax restrictions on the app store, sure. However then quality may dip or so users are told.

Should Apple open source more technologies, sure. However it comes with a cost, such as documentation efforts and etc.

Both of these problems are in the critical path of timing & execution. So I highly doubt Apple will do anything.

The Woz has always pushed for an open Apple, and damnit I wish he had it, but I doubt it from happening.
