So, tell me what mainstream phone manufacturer is without sin? Don’t tell me to root either, because you know the average person can’t do that
Nobody is without sin. Mainstream phone manufacturers, since they love to build via foxconn and the like, especially not.
But there are atleast two I know, certainly not mainstream, that try to be very good: Pine64 and Fairphone.
why not? Because of tech illiteracy or because the big wigs don't want to enable people to have an actual choice; but we know its both.
Yes. Both. We live in the real world, so we have to deal with what actually exists, not what we want to exist.
You should look into the GrapheneOS installation process. It's actually pretty easy, you can flash it from the web browser. I had a slight problem during install, so I hopped into their matrix room and someone said "try a different cable" and it worked, simple as. The process was pretty well documented, other than my bad cable all I had to do was follow the prompts, and the good cable was the one that came with the pixel, so just use that and you're gold, you can even flash it from a different android phone's browser instead of a PC, they really couldn't make it any easier.
