It only matters if you treat phones as a development environment.

It's tempting to have full control over everything OSS style, but the reality is you can only tenably have that for very specific parts of life.

The irony is that our phones are unbelievably powerful and run laps around computers from just 5-10 years ago, but then we use them as locked-down glorified web views and advertisement deliverers.

Or, as you say, kiosks.

advertisement deliverers and massive surveillance devices

Not to mention all the functionality, sensors, etc that our laptops have never had.

Why? I have the freedom to fix or modify most things I own. What makes phones so special that it justifies licking the boot of some techbro billionaires?
