That's true. I use LineageOS to get at least OS updates, but firmware is definitely problematic. I just wished mobile hardware would be more generic like in Desktop PCs, that would solve a lot of problems.
Let's go back to thicc boi phones like the 80s and we could have some pretty sick homebrew options
Or hell, why not a modern bucket phone? Build it out in a box with a Bluetooth headset and 3.5mm passthrough
We need a phone equivalent of the 80's BIOS wars.
But it's not in anyone's best interest to spend the resources to develop a standardized hardware interface. Though at this point you'd think it would be straightforward to use UEFI.
