I mean it is very important to point this things out, like you did so it can be addressed. Because with the librem5 this can actually be addressed.

And apart from all the security and privacy stuff which is of course important, there is also the fact that there currently is no modern smartphone with native GNU/Linux support out there. And this is even more important to me than the privacy stuff. Because if it can run an upstream kernel and a default distro there will never be a problem with updates as long as the hardware functions. Because there is really a bigger thread here than 3 letter agencies and that is malware, which Android like all open platforms which use the model where you don't have a maintainer between the dev and the user has a serious issue. Having a standard distro with applications from a maintainer will solve the update and the malware issue in my opinion.
