Where are all the open source phone OSes? Where are the OS agnostic capable hardware phones? Technically some do exist, but I don't think they have any significant market share. Hope I'm wrong though.

In the "waiting for funding" room.

If people don't care enough to finance projects like Fairphone, etc... while they are still in the growing pains, then those projects will never be able to last during a digital consumer war, let alone provide a product that has enough mass appeal that it makes sense to build and commercialize on auto.

Modern tech markets are broken. We need a new type of economy.

Not a new one. The solution to capitalism was posted long ago. We just need to admit it.
