    LineageOS? Aosp is still under Google control, so maybe not.

      I think the problem is that this is one part of the puzzle. Samsung are doing the other half. Locked bootloader. I fully expect the bigger manufacturers to go with both for a “fully trusted platform”. That’s how they will sell it at least.

      The only question is, who will be making the unlocked phones and how much will they cost us?

        Fairphone probably. To my knowledge Fairphone 6 can be unlocked and for the less technical, who want to degoogle, they also sell Fairphone 6 with /e/os installed. You won’t get a competitive price for the hardware but rather a fair price for the hardware and under capitalism fair isn’t competitive because the competition regularly resorts to exploitation of third world resources and cheap labor.
