On top of this is the fact that google is locking down the ability to install apps outside of the play store on standard ROMs.
If that happens my phone becomes useless for me, I have to either sell it or throw it away.
I went ahead and forked out my savings to buy a Fairphone with /e/os preinstalled just because of this. My big fear though is that some of my favorite FOSS apps will disappear because the developers abandon the platform. I hope that will not be the case.
