[idea] What if we ask Sony for help?

I mean, this might be a crazy (and/or stupid) idea, but I'll write it down anyway...
* mostly I'm thinking of Sailfish native camera app co-developed by Sony
* secondly I'm thinking of Playmemories remote app which exists as Android app but can't connect to camera on SFOS https://www.playmemoriescameraapps.com/

What if we ask Sony to help (Jolla) on camera software for Sailfish? We are always complaining to Jolla, but now many of us have a Sony phone and I've come to an understanding that they do listen to their customers. Furthermore they seem to be pioneers in opening phones for custom software. So, they might be interested...

If we write a petition and send it in the end to Sony? Just like camera people have done here: https://www.change.org/p/sony-remove-the-star-eater-on-sony-a7-a7s-r-mk-i-ii-and-a9-cameras

I know, we wouldn't make many many thousands of names on the list. But you never know if the snowflake hits another and in the end we have an avalanche.. Wouldn't cost atleast that much :-)

Ps. same way we could send our voice heard to other app developers.. atleast 1 year ago when I sent email to Parkman that they should do SFOS version of their parking app, they responded that they had had a thought on it. So, it might be that we just need to shout out loud, otherwise we don't "exist".
