Basically every IOT/router/phone/whatever which is advanced enough runs Linux and almost every one of them enforces firmware signing. They'd have to fight the whole world at this point.

They'll be doing that I expect, they are starting by making it possible for anyone to sue over GPL compliance, not just the authors.
