Open in the sense of letting the user run whatever they want, not open-sourcing the hardware itself.

Many Android phones are also open like this as shown by pmOS: someone somewhere has to work on mainline Linux support and normally mainline doesn't really work and there are still some downstream patches left, meaning you can't run what you want unless you have a patched kernel (the same it true for the PinePhone and PinePhone Pro).
