They could spur a lot of innovation by open sourcing their firmware or introducing plugins. They don't really have a channel to take asks like "ring buffer style recording" but I would do it myself.

They already have Open GoPro: https://gopro.com/en/us/info/open-gopro

Idk if the firmware is open source, but there's a whole SDK you can use to implement stuff like that

I would want to put stuff on the camera, which this SDK doesn't do. But it's good it is part of their DNA.
