So get a phone that can run AOSP and its many child roms and dont give a damn. Literally whole point of Android.
Now that US market has long since abandoned locking you into a contract for 2 years in exchange for a free flagship, and locking bootloaders on US models on top of that - just export whatever you want and magisk/aosp it.
This new limit is literally made for the savvy public who uses external apks and such and not the vast majority of room temperature IQs anyway.
