We already have. The platform is already mostly open. Goofy attempts by Microsoft aside we've had open access to the entire platform for so long there's no way to go back.
They'd have to completely change the architecture of hardware and software to recapture it.
Now you know why they've been shitting on x86 so hard and have been trying to introduce a bunch of new goofy bullshit architectures. See the PlayStation/XBoX hacking/piracy drama for an understanding of their typical strategies.
That's retarded. You use EDA tools and then send the design to a fabricator. You can play with your design on an FPGA first if you like. Like any one else in the business would.
Here you go, you can even start with the FPGA design and turn that into hardware: https://opencores.org/
How do you think these things get made in the first place? Corporate magic fairy dust? Small minded and ridiculous. Anyone with the mindset can easily do this. They do it all the time already. The CPUs have been easily available up until now, but if that's look like it's changing, what do you think is going to happen?
It's like pretending running a lathe and a CNC to make physical parts to replace OEMs is super hard to do. It's not. People do it all the time. Get your head out of your ass and learn to craft.
Does this mean we ironically need to seize the means of PC production?

Awesome. Let me quickly build computer chips in my garage and we'll be fine.

They will not hesitate to do it.
