I think it will have to go that direction. The mobile os space was killed off to get us here so it could be controlled.
Sadly, as others have mentioned, you would need a hardware manufacturer that doesn't have current stakes with any of the major players nor the mobile carriers. The carriers could blacklist homebrew or small shop hardware by imei if google or apple wanted it.
Maybe the future is a mobile hotspot in one pocket and a Linux phone in the other. Not super appealing and converging the hardware into something reasonable but still segregated would be pretty ugly.
Things aren't looking good kids.
