Open devices are rarer and have limited hardware options. Say, I didn't found any affordable multi-SIM phone that fit my tastes available at the local retail (i.e. I wasn't willing to wait for a month for a remote purchase to ship) when I needed one.

Well you should address complaints to operators like AT&T and Verizon which force bootloader locks to your phones.
Here in EU pretty much most of the new Androids are fully unlockable including phones that ship with completely locked bootloaders on Verizon and AT&T.
Demanding that Google ships an OS with security vulnerabilities because US telcos demand bootloader locking is ludicrous.
