I dont understand Fairphone, flashy hardware with poor software security and awful sustainability (they stop selling parts quickly).

Did some digging, but it doesn't appear the band compatibility with US carriers is improved at all. Am I wrong here?
I posted this elsewhere but the tech specs for the Fairphone 6 say the following:
USB-C 2.0 (OTG capable) can be used to connect USB Sticks/SD-Cards/Audio Amplifier/Network-adapters directly
I was really looking forward to use this with a pair of display glasses, like the XREAL One Pro, but this seems like the Fairphone 6 might not support display output? That's sad. Especially since the Fairphone 5 had this in their tech specs:
USB-C 3.0 (OTG capable) can be used to connect USB Sticks/SD-Cards/display (also Android™ desktop mode)/Camera/Audio Amplifier/Network-adapters directly
But maybe it was not used enough?
It's too bad they dont ship to Canada. I'm in the market for a new phone and would seriously consider this.
Doesn’t this thing just run android and Google App Store? What a waste of decent hardware.
Waiting for swappable OS. No need for android
main camera, AI-powered low-light magic
Can I turn it off? Can I? I just want my photos, the real ones, however bad they are. I don’t want them to be half generated.
Is there any chance this is the same HDR technology that has been around for at least 10 years, but using latest marketing buzzwords?
