This is the phone version of saying “the power utility is an evil awful monopoly that treats me like shit, so I’m gonna get solar and batteries and go off grid.”
It’s cool it’s possible, but it’s not practical for most people.
What do you think the major practical downsides are? Maybe you are not aware of how many things perfectly work or how easy some workaround are, so I am wondering.
The average person uses Chrome with no ad-blocker on and has never opened a terminal emulator. HN wildly sways to a tech-aware audience. I think most people would read the simple instructions provided by the author and immediately be overwhelmed and confused - "what's a bootloader, why do I need to care about unlocking it, is this going to break my phone?!"
