Exactly. We (tinfoil hat's) don't want to go with less.

Google/Apple have enough power etc. and I hope Librem5 will be here to show that it is possible to create a descent smartphone with a REAL linux (no, not android) under the hood.

Freedom is only real if you own & control it - not if someone tells you that you're free to go now (to rise the shares probably) ;-)

That was already proven possible with Ubuntu's smartphone adventure. What we need is a sustainable effort. We've managed on the desktop, hopefully the smartphone is possible too.

Of course there is the problem of all those proprietary IOS and Android only apps…
