I would argue any amount we can get is still lightyears better than not being able to replace or inspect anything at all on the system.

I mean, kinda?

Is it really doing anyone in FLOSS any favors if the projects are legally open but not practically?

I feel rooked on Android tbh. If the idea was to give large companies a free way to manage the hardware resources in SKUs that are competitors to the iPhone, yeah, it definitely accomplished that, but that makes it only a means to an end. It's not like GNU/Linux where there's any ethos to seriously change how software and services are delivered.
