Do any of the privacy oriented custom ROMs protect against that? I can't imagine their maintainers seeing code that just installs any app the ISP wants and be okay with it.

The problem is, its usually cheaper the more things you can shove into the 1 hardware item, so you have your cellular hardware in the same chip as your CPU and GPU. Not much a ROM can do about this unless the chip itself supports disabling direct memory across the two items, + does it correctly, + doesn't allow it to be reversed from the other side, + you would also need the datasheet to find out how to implement this.

Generally why privacy roms don't support more than 1 or 2 brands total, I guess.

There are also platforms with strict division between the seperate parts of hardware, la pinephone and the librem5
