I think this contest is a good thing.
It might put pressure on customers to demand products with longer support lifecycles, which in turn forces vendors to offer longer support and/or make their software and APIs open source once support ends.

It won't. It'll allow vendors to put pressure on customers to buy new shit to replace their old shit that still works just fine that the vendor would rather not spend the resources patching.
