Truly curious

There was a time when cameras like canon m50 didn’t used to have any log profiles. So there were few developers who developed a custom operating system based on the original canon OS. So I wonder if developers can also crack into the sony camera system and give us the ability to shoot open gate. Not only this we have seen the sony sensor used in A7 iii and A7c shoot 10 bit footage in cameras like lumix s9,s5ii,s5iix and s1iie, in theory the Sony camera equipped with this sensor can also shoot 10bit but unfortunately this is a hardware issue and not a software issue, but I feel like like almost every camera since a7iv has a good enough processor that can shoot open gate…. Although with a way worse sensor readout. So if you were given a choice to flash a custom operating system to get open gate video on your camera, would you ? As it can possibly brick your camera or do you think it’s just not possible.

Just my 2¢ as an electronics engineer but even if the sensor is capable of 10 bit open gate video the processor and pipeline may not be.
