These phones are unusable in a large part because of marketplace lock-in, and in another large part due to unavailable drivers. These things cannot be changed through "grassroots movement", these need to be recognized as mobile phone companies violations of consumer rights and be treated as such.

Not all of them are unusable. Fairphone and shiftphone are more expensive, but perfectly usable.

Fairphone runs Android... it's part of the problem, not part of a solution.
