    There are only a handful of hardware manufacturers for each component on a motherboard that might require firmware and once a motherboard is supported by coreboot, it can be maintained at a component level across all vendors who use that component (thus being cheaper than rolling their own proprietary firmware and cheaper to maintain over the lifetime of support) and we only need 1 single person in the whole world to keep it maintained.
