I'm guessing you've never tried to modify a Fire tablet. It's an exercise in extreme frustration. I will never "buy" a Fire tablet again. I say "buy" in quotes because the way Amazon locks down the tablet means I clearly don't own it. It's just a long term pre-paid lease.

Can't you just install a regular android app? Why do you need to unlock it to do anything?

You'll always have just a layer on top of FireOS. Which means you can't rely on security updates for terribly long, and have to fight the system every step of the way. It could be made to work for a lot of uses, but it's way more friction than just running GNU/Linux to start with.
