With the past decades or so a phone has become a standard piece of equipment where it's virtually used everywhere, anytime. It is a complete disaster that those standards are not applied to what's deemed under the hood - all these companies are deemed to do anything they want to because nothing is standard.
Look where that got us - a duopoly where going against them is deemed "inescapable". It is disappointing how we even let this happen in the first place, the capitalists and fascists basically own us because of it.
All that got us is a standard thing tacked together by mystery tape and glue - hardware & software. Open source software and standards have barely any say here just because the fascists in rule decided so.
