Fairphone? perhaps. Samsung? hell naw. Samsung heavily benefits from the spyware it builds into One UI and 99% of its user base do not care about the spyware.
But I do hope hope that Fairphone begins to embrace Linux support.

Per GOS: Samsung has almost all hardware requirements to support GOS except... they purposely cripple their device upon installation of a third party OS. One can only suspect they indeed make money with their spyware stack!

They go out of their way to ensure that it cannot be disabled even if you do care about the spyware and try to uninstall or disable it.

What is the bottleneck holding Fairphone back from supporting Linux fully?
