i don't see how a more open OS will reduce any of the silly hackery that OEMs do.
the problem is not that android is somehow not "inclusive", it's that android allows vendors to ship a modified browser for whatever silly reason they want to, and the vendor never releases any updates for the modifications they provide.
unless Jolla is going to take over control of the phone and ship software updates directly to consumers without involving the handset vendors, they aren't going to solve the problem.
