The problem is that you have to trust their description when the technology is a black box. And trust that it won't change in the future.

Sure. But like I said the causes are mostly political and legal.

A utopia of GPL-only mobile devices with no proprietary cloud service connections doesn't seem like a valid option. At least not for a large enough share of users to make a societal difference.
