Canada needs to demand all phones are completely unlocked, provider and bootloader. If they threaten to leave the Canadian market, good riddance i say.

    You can already do all of that with some phones that are already on the market and which have decently current specs and tech.

    …Where are the consumers clamouring for those phones? Why are those phones owned almost exclusively by enthusiasts and tinkerers? Why are production runs so small that these manufacturers struggle to remain profitable going concerns?

    Maybe it’s because there is zero consumer demand for what you are asking for?

    Vanishingly few people want to tinker with their phones. Most just want something that works without having to dick around with it. And having an unlocked boot loader means zero warranty, because no sane manufacturer is going to warranty something they have no quality control over

    The simple fact is that there already are phones that give consumers total control over OS and platform. And yet, almost no-one is turning to these phones because that’s not what they want.
