There is a developer release available already: https://freedomboxfoundation.org/ All packages are included in Debian Sid.

My mom can't install that herself, and wouldn't be able to find information on how to do it by browsing the freedombox website.

It's so obvious that the current freedombox website is targeted at computer geeks only and not general people. It is not 'super easy to install' if it's not granny-proved.

Your mom could plug in a ready-to-go Freedombox device that was installed with all that software already.

It is targeted at them, it is just not even close to done. Really, with this latest release it is only approaching getting usable at all.

Yes, that's why it's called a 'developer release'
