FOSS projects are not "vendors". Nobody sells a smartphone that meets the criteria described.

Why not? I can buy FOSS products, so I don't see how that wouldn't apply. Would this work for you then?

I also don't see why it matters whether or not nobody else sells a smartphone like that. Just because everyone else is doing shady shit with their products doesn't mean Apple gets a free pass.

You can buy Android phones like the Fairphone where removing the Google services is officially supported, that comes pretty close.
