So, my son's girlfriend is really obsessed with collecting old devices and "jailbreaking" them and it seems quite popular. I've never done it before, I wonder why it's so popular?

Fun hobby, sometimes challenging.

I have several android phones all with a unique OS that isn't the default google android.

My daily phone is running GraphenesOS that restores your privacy by sandboxing googles apps away from the main system. As well as some other hardening functions.
