I actually bought a new Motorola phone 2 months ago precisely because i wanted a phone with an unlockable bootloader, and motorola delivered that.
Vote with your wallet.
I have used Motorola for the last 5 years or so. They had superior battery life compared to the others and were inexpensive. I bought my last one for like 40 bucks on clearance. I won't spend more than 100 bucks plus tax on a phone anymore. I use minimal apps, don't take lots of pictures with it, mostly text and make phone calls on it. I don't keep social media apps on it nor restaurant apps. I mostly use the Maps, the Notes, and the browser applications. I don't like the android/google calendar interface but will use reminders/tasks. I also use book/reading/podcast apps (Librivox, Podbean, Kindle, and another one...). I had overly invested in Kindle years ago unfortunately. I don't really watch video on the phone as it is too small, but have YT music on it. I could use advice for alternatives that are better.
Just wanted to echo the vote with your wallet sentiment. It’s the only power we have!
I once bought a Motorola one phone because it would have quick and lengthy updates. Motorola certainly didn't provide that.
Other than that it was a decent phone.
