I'm so sick of hearing this, the current smartphone market is an american megacorp duopoly, both of whom are locking down their phones to such a degree that you cannot even claim you own the hardware anymore. There is essentially no choice.
And not buying a smartphone is not a choice either, if you want to actually exist in the modern world.
